Begin the lesson by discussing the concept of motion. Ask students to think about how they move in different ways throughout the day.
Go to the LessonLearning Objectives
- Understand that motion involves a change in position.
- Identify different types of motion such as straight line, back and forth, up and down, side to side, circular, and zig zag.
- Describe motion using the concept of speed, explaining how some objects move fast and others move slowly.
- Engage in discussion with peers to describe and identify the motion of various objects.
Introduction and Hook
Direct Instruction
Explain the different types of motion: straight line, back and forth, up and down, side to side, circular, and zig zag.
Discuss the concept of speed and how it describes motion, using examples of fast and slow moving objects.
Guided Exploration
Watch the video 'Pushes and Pulls' to understand how forces cause motion. Discuss how different forces can change the way objects move.
Engage in a discussion with peers to describe and identify the motion of various objects around the classroom.
Hands-On Activity
Conduct a simple experiment where students use toy cars to explore different types of motion and speed.
Independent Practice
Check for Understanding
Review and Reflection
Have students share their observations and reflections on the different types of motion they explored.
Assessment and Extension
Test comprehension with the 'Review – Forces and Motion' assessment, which includes identifying positions and examples of forces.
Encourage students to further explore the effects of forces on motion by planning simple investigations with toy cars.
