Motion: Pushes and Pulls

Kindergarten - Physical Science - NGSS

Students explore the different effects of different strengths and directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of objects.

Anchor Phenomenon: A rolling ball changes direction and motion when it collides with a barrier.

Driving Question: How can we design a game that makes a ball travel from start to finish and change direction on its path?

Engineering Design Challenge: Design and build an “A-mazing Game” to make a ball travel to a specific ending point and change direction as it travels.
