Learning Intention: I am learning to make observations and ask questions about how different skydivers fall at different speeds so that I can think like a scientist. Success Criteria: I’ll know I have learned it when I can make two observations and two questions about the motion of the skydivers. Learning Intention: I am learning which type of ball falls fastest so that I can draw a conclusion about how mass affects the speed at which an object falls. Success Criteria: I’ll know when I have learned it when I can explain how an object’s weight affects how fast it falls. Learning Intention: I am learning about scientifc vocabulary related to speed and energy so that I can talk like a scientist. Success Criteria: I’ll know when I have learned it when I can use the scientifc vocabulary in classroom discussion.
