Learning Tasks:
- Do Now– Get out your signed field trip permission form. Turn to your partner and tell your partner everything you know using the following scientific language: reference point, distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, momentum, inertia. Now get out your science notebook and check yourself. The unit starts on ISN p.47
- Science Friday- Etched From the Mind
- Motion Summative Assessment
- Putting Pieces Together– Take stock- Identify and consolidate ideas you have figured out across your investigations about motion. Put pieces together- Come to a consensus on how the pieces explain what happens when objects collide. Develop a public representation of how the pieces fit together.
