This term, Year 2 have been investigating push and pull and how an object moves or changes shapes in our science unit “Push and Pull”.
On Friday 9th June the students attended an incursion by Fizzics Education that gave the students an additional understanding of how we use force to move things.Year2 learnt about pushing and pulling objects, friction, gravity and inertia. They enjoyed discovering these scientific concepts using magnets, spinning wheels, pushing a rocket using the force of air and pulling a cloth from under a glass bottle.
More photos of this incursion are available in the Media Gallery.
