K-PS2

Essential Question:

How do objects move and what influences their movement?

Portrait of a Graduate:

Adaptive Perseverance: Encourage exploration through trial and error as students experiment with forces and motion.
Critical Thinking: Foster analytical thinking as students observe and predict the outcomes of their experiments.
Collaboration: Promote teamwork as students share their findings and work together to understand the principles of motion.

Inquiry Question:

What makes something start, stop, or change direction?

2. Inquiry Question:

How does the surface affect the movement of objects?

3. Inquiry Question:

Can we predict how an object will move?

Student Outcomes:

Students will experiment with pushing and pulling objects to observe changes in motion.

2. Student Outcomes:

Students will explore how different surfaces (smooth, rough, inclined) affect movement.

3. Student Outcomes:

Students will begin to predict movement based on force and surface.
