We put our knowledge of push and pull to real use today with Farm Abby. We learned how the force of both push and pull are used when operating farm tools. The kids started cleaning out one of the raised bed gardens to prepare it for spring planting.
This afternoon we created an experiment to test the strength of different materials when pulling a bucket of blocks. We practiced pulling using paper, yarn, crayons and rulers. The kids recorded their results in their experiment notebooks.
I'm not sure whether we were pushing or pulling when the limbo stick came out, but everyone had a good time celebrating Tropical Day by doing the limbo. I would have added pictures, but somebody had to hold the limbo stick =).
