Video Learning Notes

In this lesson, students learned that pushes and pulls are forces that can change how fast an object moves or the direction it goes. They designed and tested simple solutions like ramps and barriers to change an object's motion. By collecting and analyzing data, students determined if their designs worked as intended. They practiced using tools safely, recording observations, and explaining their findings with evidence. This builds foundational skills in science and engineering related to forces and motion.

Learning Goals

• Ask questions and define problems based on observations or information from investigations or models related to pushes and pulls.
• Plan and conduct simple investigations using pushes or pulls to change the speed or direction of an object.
• Use tools safely to observe and measure the effects of pushes and pulls on objects.
• Collect and record observations and measurements as evidence about how a design solution affects an object's motion.
• Analyze data to decide if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.
