1. Topic-
|
Force and Motion: Friction
Push and Pulls |
| |
|
2. Content-
|
| Magnets, pole, push, pull, friction, motion, position, speed, force |
| |
|
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1. The students will have a better understanding of vocabulary
2. The students will have a better understanding of friction and what
materials cause more or less friction
3. The students will have a better understanding that force is all
around us |
| |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1. Physical Science: Change in Motion. Motion can increase, change
direction or stop depending on the force applied.
2. RI.2.1 Ask and answer such questions as who, where, when, why and
how to demonstrate understanding of key details
3. RI.2.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases in a text relevant
to a grade two topic or subject area |
| |
|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
| Push and Pull books, Smartboard, 4 ramps, matchbox cars, bubble
wrap, sandpaper, wax paper, 4 measuring tapes, vocabulary game cards,
student science folders, Friction lab worksheet, pencils |
| |
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
1. pass out students science folders and a vocabulary game piece
to students
2. Have the students look at their cards and getup and match their
card to their partner. Go around the room and review all of the vocabulary
words. Play again if time allows
3. Review the word friction...play the website game about friction. |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
1. Pass out the students Friction Lab worksheet and remind them
that they made a prediction yesterday about friction...ask if anyone
who change their prediction now after playing the website game?
2. Explain the friction lab to the students and break them into teams
or 5 to a group
3. assign them to a ramp and have them start the lab...after a few
minutes have them move ramps |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
1. I will move around the room...helping the students stay on task.
2. I will be discussing what the students are finding during this
Friction Lab
|
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
I will measure the students progress by observing them during the
lab and by the results they share at the end
|
| |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
I will but the students with challenges with stronger students
who show good leadership
|
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
Exit question at the end of the lesson...now that we have learned
about friction and have done experiments with friction tell me if
I were to roll a marble across the floor which service will the marble
roll farther on? Carpet or tile and why?
|
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
1. Review the students findings from the Friction Lab
2. If time after the exit question: call two people ad have them roll
two marbles...one o tile and one on carpet to show the students the
correct answer. If you don't have time for that do that as an opening
for next weeks lesson. |
| |
|
7. Evaluation-
|
| Exit question will show me if the students understand the force
of friction and can explain it |
