Begin the lesson by discussing a playground and the various ways things can move. This sets the stage for understanding motion by relating it to familiar experiences.

Introduce the concept of motion by explaining how objects change position. Use examples like a ball rolling or a swing moving back and forth.

Use the video 'How Things Move' to demonstrate different types of motion such as rolling, sliding, and bouncing. This video provides clear examples and descriptions, making complex ideas accessible to early elementary students.

Engage students with the video 'Describing Motion' to illustrate how the position of objects changes over time. This video uses relatable scenarios to encourage students to think about and describe motion in everyday activities.

Discuss how speed affects motion by comparing slow and fast movements, using examples like a snail and a bicycle.

Have students describe the motion of playground equipment such as swings, slides, and merry-go-rounds. This activity helps them apply their understanding of motion paths and speed.

Use the assessment 'Describing and Predicting Motion' to engage students in activities that require them to use specific vocabulary to describe the movement of objects.

Encourage students to observe and record different types of motion in their environment, such as a car driving by or a leaf falling.

Use the video 'Can You Describe How Things Move? Take the Quiz!' to reinforce learning by prompting students to identify the type of movement shown in different scenarios.

Discuss with students how motion can change in speed and direction, using examples like a roller coaster ride.

Test comprehension by using the Unit Quiz at the end of the Forces and Motion unit.
