K-3 Objective Students will use their knowledge of force and motion to make working leprechaun traps. About a week before doing this activity send a note home requesting junk. You'll be amazed at what parents send over. Have students dig through all the junk and decide what they will need for their leprechaun trap.
Students build their traps.
Permit students to look through the junk as they need more items. Point out and try to encourage the use of force and motion. Ask students to set their traps right before they go home.
