Force and Motion

The goal of this STEM project, Water Slides and the Forces That Move Us, was to help early learners understand the concept of non-touching forces—particularly gravity and friction—through inquiry

Learn about forces and motion while reading the book Sheep in a Jeep and doing activities to determine the average distances of objects in motion.

Students will review different types of motion previously learned in Part 1. They will construct, review, and analyze a marble maze including the different types of motion to extend their learning.

Students will read and study types of movements and forces. They will draw examples of things that move in different ways. Then they will create a marble painting using the different movements and

This lesson is all about force and the influence it has on the motion of an object. In this lesson plan, students will be challenged to design a sturdy paper human house that can withstand force (wind

This lesson focuses on teaching 4th-grade students the fundamental concepts of force and motion through the hands-on activity of designing, constructing, and launching paper rockets. The lesson

Students will learn the history of rainsticks. They will engineer and design their rainstick. Students have to figure out how much rice, beans and corn goes inside to make the sound of rain. Finally

On day one, students will learn the history of the boomerang. Then on day two, the students will engineer and design their boomerang. Finally, the students will fly their boomerangs.

In this hands-on and engaging lesson, students build and launch model rockets. They explore the forces acting on the rocket and design an experiment They predict the time to apogee based on
