Grade 5: Weeks of December 6-17th

We are studying Newton's Third Law: every action has an equal and opposite reaction. We have discussed examples of balanced and unbalanced force, acted examples in front of the class, and did an inquiry on balanced and unbalanced for using a balloon. Students will further delve into gravitational pull and learn that all objects fall at the same rate, despite mass, given equal air resistance. Finally we will review Newton's Laws and examine how each law is applied in daily life. Students will receive a test on Newton's Laws on Tuesday December 14th or Wednesday December 15th.
