How One Part Relates To Others
Students observe how objects are put together. In pairs, students identify as many parts of a toy as possible. They explore how the parts fit together and how each part works. Students speculate how the object would be affected if a...
Curated OER
Push or Pull
Students examine a large box and determine how they may move the box to a specified point. After the class makes predictions, they test them and decide what worked and what didn't work. Through their tests, push and pull are introduced....
