I'm brainstorming for the upcoming unit on Forces and Motion with 3rd grade students. I'm brainstorming around Skype.
1. Reach out to a physicist or a physics teacher to guide the students to reflect on a project they would've completed.
2.  Using Google Culture an Art will expand their global awareness of kinetic art. Students will document different art pieces and artists from around the world that incorporate kinetic art. 
3. Reach out to an artist through Skype who can walk the students through an art design that incorporates kinetic art.
I'm sure the students will have more ideas on who we should connect with.
