ELEMENTARY GRADES Pre-K-2
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?
