Skills
- plan (an investigation to compare effects of pushes and pulls) #dok3
- conduct (an investigation to compare effects on object motion) #dok2
- analyze (data about pushes and pulls and their effects) #dok3
- determine (if a design solution works to change motion) #dok2
- compare (effects of different strengths or directions of pushes and pulls) #dok2
Learning Targets
- I can define pushes and pulls as forms of force that move an object. #dok1
- I can explain that the motion of an object changes when we push or pull it. #dok2
- I can compare what happens to an object when it is pushed or pulled in different ways. #dok2
- I can plan and conduct an investigation to observe what happens when objects are pushed or pulled with different strengths or directions. #dok3
- I can collect and examine data to observe the effects of pushes and pulls. #dok2
- I can analyze data to decide if a design solution changes how something moves as planned. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Different strengths and directions of pushes and pulls can change the way objects move.
- Investigating and analyzing pushes and pulls helps us understand and design solutions that affect object motion.
Essential Questions
- What is a push or a pull and how does it affect how something moves?
- How can changing the strength or direction of a push or pull change the motion of an object?
- What do we notice when we experiment with different ways of pushing or pulling an object?
- How can we use what we learn about pushes and pulls to design something that moves the way we want it to?
- How can data help us tell if our design works as planned?
