Jonathan discussed the properties of a wheel, and was asked to imagine moving a shopping cart without wheels. Through his responses, Jonathan demonstrated that he understood that less force would need to be extended to move something that has wheels. Jonathan read about force, energy, push and pull, and we reviewed their definitions. He worked on learning exercises in his Science Student Practice book, and worked well independently. We then examined our experiment comparing kernels of popcorn. Jonathan was encouraged to observe the differences in the popped kernels and unpopped kernels, and he explained that he observed differences in color. We will see if there are any additional changes noted after the weekend.
