Physical Science: Observing Forces and Energy (FE)

Students develop and apply the skills of sorting & classifying, comparing & contrasting and predicting as they explore magnetism as a non-contact force that causes movement.

What does light have to do with colour? Observe some colourful fruit under different conditions to learn why we see the colours we see!

Try out this cool activity to hear sound vibrations.

Will it slide or stick? Students conduct a fair test to investigate how different solid surfaces affect the movement of an object on a ramp.

Make a scale from simple materials and test it to measure weight.

How is light connected to the colours we see? In this STEAM activity make a colourful light catcher and discover why we see different colours?

Explore the concept of persistence of vision in this hands on activity.

How does the human eye see visible light as colour? And why do some people see more colours than others?

Students will work collaboratively to design and build a marble run that meets specific criteria.

Students will learn about the properties of sound as they design, test and build a musical instrument.

Students will work collaboratively to design and build a toy that is moved using forces applied by magnets.
