SC.2.P.13 Title: Forces and Changes in Motion Description: A. It takes energy to change the motion of objects. B. Energy change is understood in terms of forces--pushes or pulls. C. Some forces act through physical contact, while others act at a distance. Clarification for grades K-5: The target understanding for students in the elementary grades should focus on Big Ideas A, B, and C. > > What makes things move? What makes things move? Theresa Porter, Clearbrook-Gonvick School, Clearbrook, MN on a lesson from Macmillan/McGraw-Hill - Science A Closer Look Summary Students will use an inquiry approach to discover how things move. They will discover that a push and a pull are forces that put things into motion. They will also investigate how friction is a force that slows a moving object. Learning Goals Learning Students will be able to describe the position of objects in relation to another object. Student will be able to identify a force as a push or a pull. Student will be able to describe the forces of friction and gravity. Learning Skills: Observation, Questioning, Plan, Communicate, Predict, Compare, Drawing Conclusions, Record, Reflect. Vocabulary to be "discovered": push, pull, force, friction, gravity. Review positional words like: forward, backward, going up, going down, over, under, behind, in front. Context for Use
