Lesson Essential Question:


How are speed and velocity the same?
Different?
Lesson Essential Question:
How are velocity and
acceleration related?
Lesson Essential Question:
What did the Lab on
Acceleration and Velocity
teach me?
How do I summarize a lab
accurately in a lab write-
up?
Lesson Essential Question
What are the effects of
balanced and unbalanced
forces on an object in terms of
gravity, inertia, and friction?
Lesson Essential Question:
What is work and what
relationship does it have with
simple machines?
Standard/ Element
S8PS. Students will investigate the
relationship between force, mass and
the motion of objects.
a. determine the relationship between
velocity and acceleration
Standard/Element
a. Determine the relationship
between velocity and
acceleration.

b. Demonstrate the effect of
balanced and unbalanced
forces on an object in terms of
gravity, inertia, and friction.
Standard/Element
c. Demonstrate the effect of
simple machines (lever,
inclined planes, pulley, wedge,
screw, and wheel and axle) on
work.
Vocabulary:
Speed, Velocity
Vocabulary:
Initial Velocity, Final Velocity,
acceleration
Vocabulary:
Initial Velocity, Final
Velocity, acceleration
Vocabulary:
Balanced forces, unbalanced
forces, gravity, inertia, friction
Vocabulary:
Simple machines, work, lever,
inclined plane, pulley, wedge,
and wheel and axle.
Activator:
Marble Activity- allows students to
explore with marbles in order to see
for themselves what speed is and
what factors affect speed.
Activator:
Prior-Knowledge- Introduce
Speed Lab
Activator:
Prior-Knowledge- Finish
Speed Lab(address what
exactly I want to see in
each students lab write-
up)
Activator:
Students will come in and fill
out the K and W of a KWL
chart. We will discuss as a
group the things that students
already know and what
students want to know.
Activator:
Demonstration- pushing on a
wall, is it really doing work?
Teaching Strategy:
Students will go through their
notes handout as we go
through Motions
PowerPoint to investigate
what speed and velocity is.
We will go through
PowerPoint until the Lets
Check slide.
Teaching Strategy:
Continue the
PowerPoint until
finished.
We will then have a
lab outside on
velocity and
acceleration that
allows students to
Teaching Strategy:
Lab write up day.
Students will finish
their calculations
from the previous
day lab and will
have a chance to
color graphs,
discuss results, and
Teaching Strategy:
Students will be
divided into groups and
each assigned a section
of the text. Students
will work with group
members to define the
key terms, tell what
they thought was
Teaching Strategy:
We will go through
simple machines
PowerPoint and fill in
their notes as they go
along.
Students will go
around six different
stations and
We will then do a lab to
calculate the speed.
explore the
difference in the two
terms.
summarize their
data.
important from the
text, and to do a
demonstration for the
class.
Students will then be
given time to present
their lesson the class.
All students will follow
along and take notes
from each lesson that
was presented in class
experience the six
different simple
machines.
Summarizer:
Students will summarize what
they learned on a sticky note
by using the 3-2-1 model
They will need to write:
- 3 things they learned
about speed
- 2 things they learned
about velocity
- 1 thing that they want to
learn tomorrow about
acceleration
Summarizer:
Students will
complete a ticket out
the door. The ticket
out the door will be
to answer the
essential question.
Summarizer:
Students will
complete a ticket
out the door that
answers the
essential question.
Summarizer:
Students will go back to
their KWL charts and
write down at least 5
new things that they
learned today
Summarizer:
Students will fill in
simple machine chart
Homework:
Review notes and lab from class in
order to participate in the lesson
tomorrow.
(The notes handout is on the teacher
webpage under motion_notes)
Homework:
Students will complete
motion organizer.
(This is online on my teacher
webpage under
motion_organizer)
Homework:
Make finishing touches to
lab write-up. Make sure
you have included
everything you wanted to
before turning in the lab
tomorrow. (Rubric for lab
can be found on teacher
website)
Homework:
Make a tree map of the things
that were learned today in
class on balanced and
unbalanced forces.
(Blank tree-map on teacher
webpage).
Homework:
Writing: Write a paragraph to
explain one simple machine
that really interested you
today during lab. Describe
how you used this simple
machine in everyday life
without even realizing it
before today. How did using
this simple machine help you
do work?
