LEARNING THROUGH HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES: CIS STUDENTS EXPLORE FORCES AND MOTION

Recently, CIS Grade 3 students enjoyed an exciting day at Tinker Play, where outdoor activities and hands-on experiences brought their “Forces & Motion” unit to life in a meaningful and engaging way.

Through movement-based challenges, balanced bike races, and creative play activities, students explored how pushing, pulling, and motion work in the world around them.

By observing playground structures, analysing movement, and discussing their ideas with teachers and peers, students developed a deeper understanding of pushing and pulling forces, gravity, balance, and structural load in design. More than just a field trip, the experience helped students connect classroom learning with the real world while encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, and a more scientific way of looking at the world around them.
