A Kindergarten Blog: Shoebox Car Derby (motion and gravity) Last week our class had a blast learning about motion and gravity.
To start the week off, we made a big chart with words about motion that the kids already knew. They came up with words like fast, slow, twisting, sliding, etc...... Our centers included experiments with 1) matchbox car race tracks and what the effects were when you moved the tracks at different levels, started the cars in different spots, and using different cars. 2) At another center, the kids played with moving toys and wrote down as many motion words as they could think of.

If you build it carefully, this crazy contraption demonstrates one of the basic laws of nature. This law explains many events we see every day. For example, why does a big truck come out the winner in a head-on crash with a small car, even if both are going the same speed upon impact? Science for Kids: Create a Marble Run.

All you need for this fun, messy activity is an empty box, some marbles or other small balls and paint.
Things to investigate Can you blow the balls into goals? Is it easier to blow a heavy ball or a lighter ball? What happens if you tip the box up? Does the ball move faster the more you tip the box? Does using more paint make the balls move faster or more slowly? Method We made some goals with some spare cardboard and sellotaped them to each end of our box. We then dropped to marbles into paint and each player used a straw to try and blow the ball into their opponents goal. We tested marbles, ping pong balls and soft craft balls to see which were the easiest to move. After the straw blowing test we then tried moving the box around to try to move the marbles in the direction we wanted. The more paint we added the harder it became to move the marbles. Other ideas.

My kids are so interested and amazed with Science, they love learning first hand how things in their environment interact.
I also remember loving Science as a child, I vividly remember doing this Ice, Oil and Water Experiment in Science class in grade 7. Here’s what we used for our home experiment – A large glass Vase (you could do a smaller sized regular drinking glass)Baby Oil – enough to fill your vase 3/4 fullFrozen Ice cubes filled with water and food colouringtongsempty syringes or dopplers Directions – Carefully fill your glass vase, have your child hold the ice using the tongs in the oil mixture, then patiently wait and watch…you will slowly start to see a coloured drop of melted water start to bead off the ice and gracefully sink to the bottom.
My 5 year old daughter found it hard to keep the slippery ice in the tongs so I grabbed some old medicine syringes, we filled these with coloured water, the kids had a great time squirting the water into the oil. Learn How Plants Absorb Water. How to Make Magic Aqua Sand. Wow!
