Exploring Forces and Motion: An Interactive Lesson in Distance and Speed

In today's science class, students will apply concepts of force and motion through problem-solving and graph interpretation. Starting with a practical scenario involving Kyle and Jana's walks to school, students will analyze distance and direction. They will then engage in vocabulary exercises focused on action verbs related to motion, culminating in graph-based questions about tadpole populations. Additionally, students will complete a quiz in silence, review textbook content on motion and forces, and submit their scientific journals. Finally, an exit ticket will assess their understanding of speed calculations.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Friday, September 20 Force and motion Mrs. Hensley Sedgefield Middle School

  2. Do Now! • In your scientific journal, please respond on the following: • Kyle walks 3 blocks south from his home to school, and Jana walks 2 blocks north from her home to Kyle’s homes. • How far and in what direction is the school from Jana’s house?

  3. Interpreting Graphs: Let’s start with vocabulary. • Write down the verbs in the box below and make a key as follows: • peak soar • rise fluctuate • decline drop • climb increase • stabilize

  4. Do this in your scientific journal • Circle verbs that mean to go up • Underline the verbs that mean to go down • Put a star next to the verb that means to go up and down • Use and arrow to indicate the word that means to reach its highest level • Put a triangle next to the word that means to stay the same for a period of time

  5. Write the following graph questions • 1. In the year 1990, tadpole populations began to _______________ • rapidly. • 2. Tadpole populations reached a _________________ in 1992. • 3. Between 1992 and 1993, populations of tadpoles______________.

  6. Write the following graph questions • 4. Tadpole populations ________________after 1993 • 5. Between 1995 and 1999, populations______________________. • 6. How many tadpoles were in the pond at its peak? (answer in a complete sentence)

  7. Write the following graph questions • 7. How many tadpoles were present in the pond in 1998? (answer in a complete sentence) • 8. Between 1990 and 19993 populations______________________. • 9. Between 1998 and 1999, tadpole populations___________________ somewhat.

  8. Tadpole graph

  9. Quiz Time! • There is to be no talking during this quiz.

  10. Text Book Work • Read and answer the following questions on a blank piece of paper. • UNIT D 24 Motion and Forces Time, Distance and Speed • UNIT D 20 Motion and Forces Calculating Speed from a Graph • UNIT D 18 Motion and Forces Calculating Speed • UNIT D 30 Motion and Forces Velocity-Time Graphs • read and answer the two questions at the bottom of the page

  11. Scientific Journals • I will be collecting scientific journals. Please put yours in the box near the door as you leave.

  12. Exit Ticket • On an index card, please answer the following: • A wheelchair racer completes a 100 meter course in 20 seconds. • What is his speed?
