Both art and science observe, explore and create

In P.E. we will work on force and motion: Gravity, push&pull (wheelbarrow racing, tag-a-war, do smaller balls bounce different than bigger balls?, ...)

In Music we will explore, how sound works. What is sound? How do different instruments create sound? (building our own instrument)
