I. MOTION
Students will understand the motion of objects and how forces can
change that motion.
Students will be able to:
1. Develop a variety of ways to describe the motion of an object.
2. Demonstrate that the motion of an object can be changed.
EXAMPLE
* Describe the motion of an object using terms such as forward,
backward, straight, zigzag, up, down, fast, slow, etc
Learning
Goals:
Students will be able to:
l.Develop a variety of ways to describe the motion of an object.
2.Demonstrate that the motion of an object can be
changed
Skill
Development:
The student will explain and demonstrate motion.
The student will learn how to make observations and modify their
project.
Build and modify an object that illustrate the motion, ie raising,
moving forward, stopping.
Guiding
Questions:
What causes motion?
How is motion stopped?
