Learning Targets
- I can observe how an object's motion changes when it is pushed or pulled. #dok1
- I can describe the motion of an object when a force is applied. #dok1
- I can plan an investigation to test how different pushes and pulls affect motion. #dok2
- I can conduct an investigation to compare what happens when objects are pushed or pulled harder or softer. #dok2
- I can compare the effects of changing the direction or strength of a push or pull on an object's motion. #dok2
Big Ideas
- Pushes and pulls can change the motion of objects in different ways.
- The strength and direction of a push or pull affect how an object moves.
Essential Questions
- How do pushes and pulls change the way things move?
- What happens when you push or pull an object harder or softer?
- How does the direction of a push or pull affect how an object moves?
- What can we learn by investigating how different forces affect objects?
- Why is it important to compare the effects of different pushes and pulls?
