The learning intention for this lesson is for students to identify Newton’s Third Law.
Students are learning to identify and describe the effect of forces on the motion of objects.
Reflection
What a fun lesson! The children loved creating their baking soda rockets, at times we were tested on our patience levels and had to take our time to ensure we had the right amount of baking soda with vinegar. I taught this lesson 3 times, to every child in Tumu (Year 5/6 Classroom) and each time the children thought of different explanations to justify Newton’s Third Law. It was then great to support this teaching in the next lesson around forces. Reflecting upon my teaching, I was happy with how I managed a control science experiment - the children's engagement was clear and if time prevailed it would have been great for them to record this on their Chromebook.
