Exploring the law of physics

Lately our children have been enjoying using their upper body strength to move and build with our new tyres. Today however the day started off very wet so some strategic planning needed to happen to encourage  children to exert their energy in a similar way but within a restricted area.
Cotton ball throwing was ideal. Children squealed with delight as they threw the cotton balls dipped in paint hard against the wall. They soon realized that it was the force of their throw that resulted in the height the balls landed ie the beginning of exploring physics. Tino pai rawa atu /excellent !
