Collection Two- Physical Science

Collection Two Physical Science contains many different things. 1) Journal Article- It talks about push and pull factors, give some books that you can use in the classroom, and also talks about the 5 E's that we learned about as well. 2) E-Book: "Kristel Pushes and Pulls", this is an interactive book that helps students use their knowledge on push and pull factors. The students are required to read the book, while also choosing if the objects need to be pushed or pulled in the book. 3) Video: The video in the collection is from 3-2-wonder teaching on pushes and pulls. It is very interesting for students because the kids in the video are learning about force, pushes, and pulls from a "scientist". 4) The collection also contains a song that I will teach to my students that also has movements. It is a very catchy song and is easy to learn for these lower level students.
