Kindergarten Physics Lesson

Physics? In Kindergarten? Sure! What 5 year old boy wouldn't love to learn about and experiment with simple machines? John Merritt, Samuel and a couple of friends, Baer and Tieg, got together today for a special science lesson. We learned that God gives man creativity to develop tools that help him work. We had a great discussion about inventions (especially tractors) that help us work. We looked at pictures of simple machines, and then we went outside to experiment. We lifted heavy blocks with a lever, hauled Tieg around on a hand cart. Tried out a caulk gun and saw how a pulley worked. We came back inside to draw a picture of a simple machine, and then went back out to "play" with a simple machine, a tricycle! How can a 4 and 5 year old move around 120 pounds? Watch the smilebox to see how!
