Second-Graders Explore Physics During Forces in Motion Expo

Second graders explore robotics.

In its fifth year, the Forces in Motion Expo, held in Little School’s Innovation Alley, features how our second-grade students are learning about forces and gravity and tying in our STEAM disciplines in their learning processes.

Students were tasked with understanding how the parts and forces work on a system and creating and programming a Lego WeDO while working in teams. They also created a habitat and learned about advertising to market their creations.

“It was with much excitement that the second-grade students shared their learning with their families during the Forces in Motion Expo,” says Lower School STEAM Chair and Science Teacher Kara Makohon-Moore. “After a couple of months of learning, programming, problem-solving, and team-building, students showcased their Lego WeDo creations, habitats, and advertisements using all of the elements to have a STEAM learning experience. It was a fun morning seeing all of the creativity, families troubleshooting with their children, and learning that was taking place.”
