Balance and Motion Videos

We've been studying balance and motion. We got to make spinners (force is pushed) and zoomers (force is pulled).

Anjaleeya says, "I like spinners because they are easy and they go everywhere."

Angelo says, "I like zoomers because they make noise."

David A. says, "I like zoomers because they are awesome. They hurt your fingers but they are fun."

Priscilla says, " The zoomers are cool because when you pull it, they spin, and they make sound."

Fletcher says, "The zoomers are AMAZING!! But one thing about them is they hurt your fingers really badly. They are also really cool because they make a noise by pulling air through them."

Ana says," The spinners are fun when then spin fast!"

Check out our graphs!

First we surveyed each other. Then we tallied the data.

Finally, we displayed the data in a pictograph and a bar graph.
