April 9, 2019 Physics is Fun! Lesson 4: Wheels

Preschool Steam Class learned about wheels.  They read the book by David Glover, "Wheels and Cranks.  According to the book, before the wheel was invented  people used rollers to move heavy things.  Students were given a chance to then use rollers themselves and decided rollers don't let things go very far nor very fast.  Wheels were much more fun!  Using wheels (on a furniture dolly) the children could move heavy loads - even the teachers!  And using wheels on Matchbox cars, they could move things very fast!  Our last activity gave them the opportunity to make their own cars.  Wheels were wonderful!
