Science in a Van


Today Emily and Alan brought their Science in a Van roadshow to school. We got to learn about the three laws of force found by Isacc Newton. Force is caused by pushing and pulling. We watched Alan put Steve (the chicken) on the rocket to demonstrate the speed of a rocket if force is applied behind him. If we make Steve smaller the rocket will go faster. Alan and Emily showed us lots of cool experiments related to air resistance, friction and force. What a fun way to start our science activities in class.
