This fall we started working at two schools in Oakland: Acorn Woodland and Cox Academy. We are working with the schools' youngest students: Transitional Kindergarten (TK), Kindergarten, and First Grade!
TK students are learning about gravity ("gravity pulls everything down") and explore what happens when we let go of objects, when we throw them up, and when they roll down a ramp.
Kindergarteners play Simon Says Forces as they learn that forces have a size and a direction. They explore ways of using forces to change the speed of an object or its direction of motion.
First graders explore how different materials interact with light (opaque, transparent, translucent, reflective) and that in order for us to see an object, it must reflect light. The picture shows students modeling how light rays might reflect off a door and into our eyes so we can see the door.
