Forces and Friction,

 The first Co-op day (we didn't get started until a couple of weeks ago) I taught about Forces. Mostly gravity. We talked about Newton, and we talked about how it doesn't matter how heavy an object is, it will fall at the same speed.

One of the ways we showed this, was by playing with parachute men.

The other time we went for science, we learned about friction. Of course we did one of my favourite activities EVER of shaving cream on the ground. It was some slip-sliding fun!!!

We also dragged each other on the floor using garbage bags. It was easier with the light littles, but not so much for the olders. By the way, we have almost 20 kids in each group!!! Crazy!
