2nd Grade Explorers: Unleashing the Power of Air Resistance in Seed Expeditions
In their 2nd grade science classes, students have delved into the concept of air resistance, exploring its impact on seed dispersal during their garden class.
Embracing their roles as naturalists, they've delved into various natural examples, such as the dandelion's impressive 100-mile journey and the Javan cucumber seed's ability to glide considerable distances with just a gentle breeze.
Switching gears to engineering, students have applied their observations to create their wind-propelled seeds. Collaborating in teams, they've harnessed the resources of our maker space to design and craft unique 'seeds' capable of airborne travel.
