    Description

    Explore forces and motion in this hands-on experiment bundle. Three-grade level versions with 20% savings. Teachers will love its' ease of use, simple materials, and meeting the science and engineering practices. Students will love uncovering the science of inertia, gravity, and The Laws of Motion.

    This download contains K-1st, 2nd-3rd, and 4th-5th grade. Each version is differentiated for abilities and the Next Generation Science Standards. The K/1st grade version tests the difference between a push and a pull. It contains checkboxes and coloring. The 2nd/3rd-grade journal investigates if the size of the container affects the number of pennies that fall in. The 4th/5th-grade journal expands the number of trials and uses more pennies. All follow the scientific method for their age level. If your students are new to the scientific method, we recommend starting with the lower age level.

    Supplies for the Investigation

    Different-sized containers, pennies, scissors, cardboard, ruler

    Digital and Distance Learning Approved. This is a great way to get students to use the scientific method at home. The only supplies needed are a container, cardboard, and pennies. The supplies can easily be modified. The file is a PDF but comes with a pre-created Easel by TpT overlay. We added text boxes and tips for completing it online. Click "Open in Easel" on each product page to get started. They can be added to your Google Classroom as an assignment. Students can also print and complete it. A science lab teacher can also assign all the grade levels, allowing families to conduct the experiment together. You can send the overlay as a link to Google accounts if you don't have Google Classroom. If that is not possible, use the PDF in a program like Kami extension to create an online version with text boxes. We already did it for you in Easel. You could conduct the experiment as a demo for the students, and then they try it. Get creative!

    Great for homeschool, classrooms, scouts, end-of-year activities, science fairs, and more!

    Standards

    to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
    Describe the relationship between a series of historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text, using language that pertains to time, sequence, and cause/effect.
    Recall information from experiences or gather information from print and digital sources; take brief notes on sources and sort evidence into provided categories.
    Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations. They bring two complementary abilities to bear on problems involving quantitative relationships: the ability to decontextualize-to abstract a given situation and represent it symbolically and manipulate the representing symbols as if they have a life of their own, without necessarily attending to their referents-and the ability to contextualize, to pause as needed during the manipulation process in order to probe into the referents for the symbols involved. Quantitative reasoning entails habits of creating a coherent representation of the problem at hand; considering the units involved; attending to the meaning of quantities, not just how to compute them; and knowing and flexibly using different properties of operations and objects.
    NGSS3-PS2-1
    Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. Examples could include an unbalanced force on one side of a ball can make it start moving; and, balanced forces pushing on a box from both sides will not produce any motion at all. Assessment is limited to one variable at a time: number, size, or direction of forces. Assessment does not include quantitative force size, only qualitative and relative. Assessment is limited to gravity being addressed as a force that pulls objects down.
    NGSS3-PS2-2
    Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion. Examples of motion with a predictable pattern could include a child swinging in a swing, a ball rolling back and forth in a bowl, and two children on a see-saw. Assessment does not include technical terms such as period and frequency.
