What can we design to change the direction of an object? Kindergarten students are sure to be engaged in this hands-on STEM exploration of forces and motion! Built of the NGSS, with integrated ELA components, students will engage in a true STEM learning experience! Students will discuss vocabulary related to movement and engage in discussions as they explore the effect of placing objects in the path of motion. This inquiry-based investigation will foster critical thinking and science practices in your students. If your students are learning about push and pull forces this is an excellent way to get them exploring the effects of different pushes on the motion of an object, addressing Next Generation Science Standards K-PS2-1 and K-PS2-2. This lesson is included included in our COMPLETE Kindergarten Physical Science STEM Unit. Check out the unit to see all of our other amazing Kindergarten Physical Science lessons.
