In this lesson, students will be given objects and asked to make predictions on how far each object will move after they blow in it. Then they will measure the distance and record their observations in their science journals. After their science investigation into motion students will read Move It! by Jaime A. Schroeder to reinforce the hands-on learning activity.

In this physics interactive lecture demonstration, students will observe the constancy of gravity in a variety of different situations. They will predict what will happen if a plastic bottle, filled with water and having a hole near the bottom, is dropped. Will the bottle fall at the same rate as the water inside the bottle?
In this lesson, students will reflect on how animals and objects move …
In this lesson, students will reflect on how animals and objects move in the environment and replicate their motion using a DASH robot and essential vocabulary words.
Students study the motion of objects by brainstorming and experimenting with the …
Students study the motion of objects by brainstorming and experimenting with the different ways that a ping-pong ball can move. They will then create a structure that can be used to move an object from one place to another. They are encouraged to observe and test their structures, revising them as needed.
In this interactive lesson, students rotate to different sports activity stations to …
In this interactive lesson, students rotate to different sports activity stations to determine if a push or a pull or both are being used for that sport. Students record their observations by writing a simple phrase to explain the push or pull force they used. At the end of the rotations, students compile their data onto a class tally graph. Extension activities include involving the Olympics and Para-Olympics and their family members. Probing questions that include determining if the age of the thrower affects force and distance and assessment extend and complete the lesson.

The focus of this unit is to introduce the concepts of force and motion. Specifically this unit will address the forces of push, pull, gravity, and work. It also introduces students to the concepts of friction and slope. The unit begins with an introduction to the scientific method and addresses the differences between scientists and engineers. Students will be both scientists and engineers while completing this unit.

This is the educator's guide for a set of activities that teach students about humans' endeavors to return to the moon. The emphasis is for students to understand that engineers must "imagine and plan" before they begin to build and experiment. Each activity features objectives, a list of materials, educator information, procedures, and student worksheets. Students should work in teams to complete the activities. Note: Activities do not align to all objectives that are listed; specific activities align to specific objectives.

In this lesson, students will explore motion, rockets and rocket motion while assisting Spacewoman Tess, Spaceman Rohan and Maya in their explorations. They will first learn some basic facts about vehicles, rockets and why we use them. Then, the students will discover that the motion of all objects including the flight of a rocket and movement of a canoe is governed by Newton's three laws of motion.

The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate Newton's third law of motion which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction through a small wooden car. The Newton cars show how action/reaction works and how the mass of a moving object affects the acceleration and force of the system. Subsequently, the Newton cars provide students with an excellent analogy for how rockets actually work.
This brief video lesson introduces Newton's three laws of motion, using the …
This brief video lesson introduces Newton's three laws of motion, using the motion of a bicycle as illustration. Discussion/assessment questions and suggested supplemental resources are also included.

These slides are used to introduce Ozobot to Kindergarten to use science motion vocabulary and explore robotics in the real world. Students explore how Ozobots use light and color sensors to "read" the information in order to move. This is a launching point for further lessons on how to color "code" the types of movement. Lessons are available at https://portal.ozobot.com/lessons

In this activity, students use a magnet to make a paper clip "walk" on a paper plate. Students investigate how many paper plates through which the magnetic field will still pass.

Students design and build paper rockets around film canisters, which serve as engines. An antacid tablet and water are put into each canister, reacting to form carbon dioxide gas, and acting as the pop rocket's propellant. With the lid snapped on, the continuous creation of gas causes pressure to build up until the lid pops off, sending the rocket into the air. The pop rockets demonstrate Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this lesson, students will observe and record the amount of work done by marbles rolling down a plane and more fully understand the relationship between potential and kinetic energy.
