Kindergarten Science Incursion – Exploring Forces

Today, our Kindergarten students took part in an exciting Science Incursion focused on exploring different types of force.

Through hands-on experiments and engaging demonstrations, our young learners discovered how forces work in the world around them.

Here's what we explored:

Push and Pull – We used push force to move skateboards and experienced pull force through rope activities.

Spin Force – We investigated how spin can create movement and even flight.

Levers and Lifting – Using levers, we learned how to lift heavier objects with less effort.

Friction and Pressure – Students safely sat on a bed of 1000 nails to understand how pressure can be distributed across a surface.

Magnetic Levitation – We experimented with magnets to keep objects floating in the air.

Gravity and Electricity – We explored how gravity affects movement and how electricity can be used to create force.

It was a day full of curiosity, discovery, and excitement. Here are some photos of the experience.
