Force Experiments in Sixth Grade Science

(2/28): Mrs. Whitworth and Mrs. Swain's science classes had so much fun learning about Forces and Newton's Laws of Motion. From a straw Rocket to a Popping Film Canister Rocket, students experienced how objects at rest can be shot into the air by an unbalanced force, and if the force is greater than the mass of the object it will accelerate. They created graphs recording velocity based on these experiments. Whether blowing a straw rocket across the room or blowing a film canister above the roof of the Middle School, students observed how for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
