Agenda

What we are learning:

Physical Science: Topic 2: Forces and Motion

In this unit of study, your child will be introduced to forces and how they affect the motion of objects. Your child will learn how velocity, speed, and acceleration are related. Your child will also learn about Newton’s laws of motion and the factors that affect the forces of friction and gravity. In the following weeks of study, the unit will provide your child with a deepening of understanding about forces and motion.
