Force and Motion
Joint P.E. and ILE activity for second graders

Second graders learned about force and motion in their regular classrooms then participated in a joint P.E. and ILE activity designed to give them some first-hand experiences. After learning about the general principles of force, acceleration, friction, and  Newton's First Law of Motion, the students took to the school gym to test these ideas. They propelled themselves along the floor on scooters to hit targets and accumulate points, and with additional tries, improved their scores.
