CONCEPTS

SKILLS

● Balanced & Unbalanced Forces ● Motion of Objects ● Patterns in Motion ● Gravitational Force ● Electric and magnetic interactions

● Plan and carry out investigations ● Provide evidence ● Analyze and interpret data ● Construct explanations ● Design a solution

LEARNING PROGRESSIONS 1. Observe and measure an object’s motion to recognize that patterns can be used to predict future motion. 2. Observe the way objects move using a marble. 3. Read about how objects move. 4. Look at images to show different types of motion.

5. When a force is applied to an object its motion changes. 6. Investigate the relationship between force and motion. 7. Read about forces on objects. 8. Determine what forces move objects. 9. Ask questions that can be investigated to explore electricity. 10. Observe how a charged balloon affects other objects. 11. Read about electrical energy and static electricity. 12. Explain how magnetic forces can be utilized. 13. Experiment to fnd out which objects are pulled by magnets. 14. Read about magnets and magnetic felds. 15.Determine which objects magnetic forces can pass through. 16.Make an electromagnet. 17. Learn how magnets can be used to solve problems. VOCABULARY
