Get ready to transform your science class into an engaging adventure with our latest activity: “Pushing Power with Toy Cars.” Our CIE 1 students recently dove into this hands-on experiment to grasp the concept of force by pushing a tricycle both with and without a person sitting on it.
The magic of using a tricycle in this activity lies in its ability to make the concept of force visible and understandable. Instead of just talking about force, students could see and feel how the force needed to push an object changes with its weight. The hands-on experience helped them grasp that larger forces are required to move heavier objects, while smaller forces are sufficient for lighter ones.
This experiment not only teaches the basics of force but also sparks curiosity and excitement about science. By turning everyday objects into tools for exploration, students experience the joy of learning through play. Hence our class pushed their way to understanding with tricycles and see how exciting learning about the strength of force can be!
