Push or pull...

Today we have been doing even MORE research for our car design. We have been learning all about pushing and pulling. When we push or pull we are using energy to move our car. Check out this cool website

At our grand prix we need to make sure we push our vehicle hard. When we push our vehicle hard we are transferring lots of energy into our car. The energy makes our car travel really far. Energy is something that let's us do things. There are lots of different kinds of energy.

Some things around us that use energy are:
People walk (Ava S.)
Shark uses energy to swim (Seth)
Motorbikes use energy to move (Jordon)
Computer uses energy (Mia J.)
Birds fly (Mia L.)
Fans use energy (Madilynn)
Horses use energy when they move with their legs (Annalise)
Dogs run and use energy (Braith)
Kicking the ball and running and getting the ball uses energy (James)
Running uses energy (Liam)
