Collaboration Friday: Force and Motion

Kiya! 

 

With the help of The Three Ninja Pigs by Corey Rosen Schwartz & Genesis Jiujitsu, our students learned about force and motion during our collaboration Friday!  Students enjoyed a puppet show on a classic tale with a Ninja twist. In this fun story the three little pigs each train in a martial art specialty- Aikido, Jiujitsu, & Karate. The first little pig got bored and quit, the second little pig learned only one move, and the third little pig mastered them all.  You can guess the pattern of the story that followed in this book. 

Following this fun puppet show, we learned about motion and force seen in martial arts. Albert Hughes from Genesis Jiutjitsu shared martial motions with the students.  Throughout the video we were able to see patterns of motion and the force needed to create a motion.



Thank you Albert, Rudy, & Genesis Jiujitsu for helping teach our students about force and motion!



Next the students developed their own martial arts moves demonstrating: round and round, back and forth, push & pull, up and down, straight line, zig zag, & slow and fast.
