Performance Expectation Connections to Orientation and Mobility (O&M) Lessons Students: Questions for Assessment K-PS2-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes. Landmarks and Clues Directionality Did the student utilize directionality and landmarks in creating a tactile map that represents real-world areas? Can the student elements of the tactile map to the elements of the setting Science and Engineering Practices Asking Questions and Defining Problems Analyzing and Interpreting Data Construct a tactile map of environmental areas (Wheatley Kit) Discuss the importance of pushes and pulls needed when traveling within different environments; for example, opening and closing doors to enter or exit areas. Locate examples of pushes and pull within the environment; both within the school setting and outdoors on the playground setting “Measure” the impact of within a given push or pull Is the student able to independently construct a tactile map to represent the playground area? Do the student examples of push and pull accurately represent the concepts being taught? Does the student recognize that more force equals a greater push or pull? Disciplinary Core Ideas PS2.A. Forces and Motion Pushes and can have different strengths and directions Pushing or pulling on an object can change the speed or direction of its motion and can start or stop it. PS3.C. Relationship Between Energy and Forces Discuss the relationships between self and the environment in relation to travel; emphasis can be demonstrated through the pushing or pulling of the long cane within an environment. (PS2.A) Explore the school environment to locate various examples of (pushes and pulls) – i.e. doors, water fountains, vending machines, Does the student recognize that movement is dependent upon the forces of push and pull? Can the student recognize various examples of push and pull within a school environment? Within a playground environment? Does the student recognize that the forces of push and pull are needed to move a long cane?
