Video Learning Notes

Students learned that pushes and pulls are forces that can change how objects move. They discovered that stronger pushes or pulls make objects move faster or farther, and pushing or pulling in different directions changes the direction of motion. Through planning and conducting investigations, using tools safely, recording observations, and sharing explanations, students built foundational science skills aligned with NGSS and TEKS standards.

Learning Goals

• Plan and carry out an investigation to compare how different strengths of pushes or pulls affect the motion of an object.
• Plan and carry out an investigation to compare how different directions of pushes or pulls affect the motion of an object.
• Ask questions and define problems based on observations during investigations.
• Use simple tools safely to observe and measure motion.
• Collect and record observations and measurements using pictures and words.
