Today, our children were deeply engaged in
exploring how things move using hula hoops. They discovered that by rolling the
hoops down different heights and slopes, they could make them move in a variety
of ways—faster, slower, straight, or curving off to the side.
There was lots of excitement as they experimented
with placing the hoops at the top of slides, down hills, and even on flat
ground. Some children noticed that the hoops rolled further when the slope was
steeper, while others observed that starting from a higher point made the hoops
move faster. They began testing their ideas, adjusting angles and positions,
and watching closely to see what would happen next.
Through this exploration, the children were
developing early scientific thinking. They were engaging with important
concepts such as gravity, force, motion, and speed. As they make predictions,
test their theories, and reflect on the results, they are building working
theories to help them understand how the physical world works.
