"The path from dreams to success does exist. May you have the vision to find it, the courage to get on to it, and the perseverance to follow it." Kalpana Chawla (Engineer and first Indian American woman to go to space)
Welcome to Year 5
Our enquiry question for Term 5 is ‘What do forces actually do? To explore this question, the children are going to be scientists, engineers and mathematicians. The term will culminate with the children answering the enquiry question through designing a “machine” inspired by Rube Goldberg that demonstrates knowledge of different forces (push, pull, magnetism, gravity, friction) and mechanisms (levers, pulleys, gears).
