This week we will be looking at how characters interact with each other. We can ask ourselves:

What do the characters say to each other? What do they think about each other? How do we know this?

Please see the American Sign Language Translation of what inertia means:

This week, let's do a practical application of the law of inertia in our homes using simple objects that we can easily find at home. We will do a coin experiment to understand the gravitational pull on an object.

After carrying out the experiment with a parent or sibling, make a video answering the questions or take a picture of your written responses to these questions:
