May the FORCE be with you...

We've been studying forces. Name a force and an example of that force being exerted on an object or person. List as many as you can.

Here is an example:

Push- Getting out of bed in the morning because you are pushing yourself away from the bed.

I can't wait to read your ideas! No repeats, think of your own example. I am looking for correct capitalization, punctuation and spelling.

To Explore or Not to Explore... That is the question...


We've started learning about early exploration. Would you have liked to go on an expedition to find a sea route to the Spice Islands? Why or why not?

Describe what you think think that experience would be like. What would it be like on the open seas? What navigation tools would you have used? What features would you caravel have to help you on your journey?
