Science Shooters!

We had a fabulous afternoon of Science!  We are learning about Forces and Motion this term.  Force is what makes something move or stop.  Motion is when something moves.  Using shooters we explored the forces of push and pull.  To make a shooter the bottom of a plastic cup is cut off and the top of a balloon is stretched over the top of the cup.  We put different items inside the shooter such as plastic cubes, bears and marshmallows.  We pulled the balloon back and let go watching the items fly out.  When the balloon snapped back from being pulled it pushed the items out of the cup.
