Forces
Focus on Forces In this very popular activity the children will be introduced to the idea of using what you know about science to do difficult jobs. The juniors are going to make a machine or mechanism to lift an adult. The children will think about balance and good shapes for balancing. The see-saw will be introduced as a toy which uses balance to work. The children will all make small see-saws on their table and test what happens when a small person gets on the see-saw alone, with a big person and with a person of the same size as themselves. The big challange is to see if they can adjust or change the see-saw so that the little person can lift the big person. This is then scaled up so the children can easily lift the scientist.
The seniors (3rd - 6th classes) are going to design an experiment to find out how strong jelly sweets are. We need the answer to be a number so that sweets in different locations can be compared by different people. Might Robert Hooke's work on springs and their behaviour be any help in this task? A variation or extension of this activity is to make a weighing scales and use it to measure the weight of an unknown.
