Science in Motion !

Our class has started its next science unit!  To begin....today we investigated energy and how things move.  What makes things move?  Electricity, food, fuel, and what else?  Cooking oil?  Sugar?  Chocolate????  
How does a wind up toy work?  What gives it the energy to move forward, or bounce, or shuffle, or wiggle, or flip?  Kids were challenged to draw a cross section of the inside of one of the toys, showing how it worked......
