Inertia in Science

INERTIA

Students got to play with little wooden cars in science... and yes there was a lot of learning going on.

Mrs Gobius took video's of the students discussing how inertia affects the 'passengers' in their wooden cart - it is a bit difficult to hear, but Daniel and Haley give a great explanation of why we feel like we are left behind when a car or bus starts off too quickly.

Mrs Gobius also directed an inquiry into 'Brooms'- see this post under the "science" tab at the top of the page.
