STEM Activity: Just Move Along

Hi friends! Here's another fun STEM activity on force! 
Just like the last video, you can follow along with Ms. Sarah in the video or you can follow the directions below. 

Force is what is used to move an object. Forces are either a push or a pull. In this activity, we are using force to move the cotton ball and the marble! The ball is moved in different directions by changes in the direction of the force.

I hope you had fun completing this fun and moving activity! Join us next week for another STEM activity! 

Supplies needed:
- A straw
- A cotton ball
- A marble
- Tape
- Scissors (as needed)

Directions:
- Place the ball on a horizontal surface
- Place the straw in your mouth and aim it at the ball
- Blow through the straw in the direction of the ball
- Repeat these steps for the marble
- Use 3 to 5 pieces of tape to make a pattern on the surface (zig zag works best)
- Repeat the first steps while trying to keep the ball away from the tape.
​Were you able to do it? Was it easier using the cotton ball or the marble?
