During my extended practicum I designed inquiry based units and lessons to inspire the minds of the students.  One of the inquiry units we did was Forces and Motion.  We started every lesson with a problem solving activity that pertained to the force that we were learning.  One activity that we all really enjoyed was the cookie race.  Students had to move a cookie from their foreheads into their mouths without touching it with their hands.  Before this lesson students had learned that force is a “push and a pull that makes things move.”  So what was making these cookies move?………gravity!
