I Like to Move It, Move It Essential Question: How can you describe and measure the motion of objects and light?

Enduring Understandings	Resources
Mechanics Movement of objects and lights can be measured using time, direction, and speed. Change in motion is affected by the mass of an object and the size of the force applied to it.	Friction Explore friction with this animated/interactive presentation. Forces and Motion: Interactive Simulation Test distances a truck travels with the same force. Forces in Action: Interactive Simulation Test and analyze the distance of a truck down a ramp with varied mass and forces acting against it. Forces and Motion A 12 minute video that analyzes the relationship between gravity, force, motion, and friction.

BBC'S Revise Wise Science Page for Kids (Physical processes section - Forces and Friction) Explore the difference between pushing and pulling. Create a Graph Create graphs displaying data from classroom lab experiments. Rollercoaster Simulator Demonstrate potential energy being transferred into kinetic energy within a simulation of a rollercoaster ride. Arts Integration & Writing Assignment - Kinetic and Potential Energy Students can complete this assignment through Office365/OneDrive StudyJams Videos on Force and Motion View this link to select the video on Force and Motion or even Newton's 3 Laws of Motion Summative Unit 5 One Pager Students create a Pixie one-pager that covers reflection, 3 types of motion, kinetic and potential energy, and force/mass/speed/distance traveled. Requirements can be changed based on areas of focus.
Wave Interactions Light travels in a straight line until it is reflected or refracted.	Light Energy Explore how light travels. Light Manipulate various prisms in order to reflect the light source in the correct position. Light Explore the basic properties of light. Introduction to Light Concepts focus on: light travels, opaque, transparent, refraction, reflection, lenses, vision, and color.
