Science in a Van comes to Sunnyhills - what do you notice, see, wonder?

Forces are part of the Physics area of Science - an area often forgotten about when talking to children about Science.

Today we learned about the push and pull of forces. Alan and Emily took us through the play of The Three Billy Goats Gruff and the effect of friction on the push and pull of an object.



Here is Alan playing the part of the Troll.


Here is Emily playing the part of the Big Billy Goat with her muscles which give her the strength to use the force.


Here is the middle sized Billy Goat with the silky material which is going to decrease the friction and help her use her force to push the Troll out of the way.




Here is the Little Billy Goat Gruff pushing the Troll away on her trolley! The wheels have given her super forces!



Here is Miss Fullard - about to sit on a bed of nails!!
















What will it be like?

Would you believe it - it was all fine and no one was hurt!

  1. I loved how the twirling black and white disk made Alan's head look like it was growing bigger before my eyes. I'm glad that Miss Fullard's bottom didn't pop when she sat on the chair with all the nails.
