Integrated Science Center Activity 1 Students will partner read pages 69-71 of the Science Fusion textbook. Students will define gravity and then site examples of gravity provided in the text. Finally, they will include examples of gravity that they have seen. Students will share, with a partner, their examples of gravity in action. Note: Students may also draw pictures with labels to provide examples of gravity. Gravity: (Definition) Text Examples My Observations Activity 2 CENTERS Review chart of examples of gravity completed in Activity 1. Students will review story of the week, Pop’s Bridges, and provide examples of gravity in action in that text. These examples will be added to the chart created. Encourage students to make observations throughout the entire school day and at home (playground, cafeteria, the walk home) of gravity in action and include those observations on their list. Activity 3 Students will read pages 72-73 of Science Fusion textbook and summarize ways in which the text explains how gravity is overcome. Homework: Invite students to investigate ways they overcome gravity day to day. Examples can be shared the following day. Writing Connection: Ask students to imagine they are an astronaut on a space shuttle mission as it takes off from Earth. Have them write a narrative description of what it is like to be in the rocket when it lifts off from Earth and overcomes the force of gravity.
