5TH GRADE

•Design an experiment that tests the effect of force on an object.

6TH GRADE

6.8B: identify & describe the changes in position, direction, & speed of an object when acted upon by unbalanced forces.

8th GRADE

•8.6A: demonstrate & calculate how unbalanced forces change the speed or direction of an object’s motion.

• Force is a push or pull.

• Weight is a force created by the pull of gravity.

• An unbalanced force causes an object to move.

• A balanced force causes an object to be at rest.

• We can experiment to find out the ways different forces create motion in different objects.

2014 MoY II Question: 6.8B

Based on the data and distractors, what key points should teachers emphasize during lessons?

• Identify unbalanced forces.

• Calculate net force (the difference between all forces acting on an object) and describe its affect on speed and direction.

Components of a good lesson plan

1. Engage Student Interest

2. Review/Scaffold to TEKS

3. Student-Centered Activities directly relating to the depth and complexity of the TEKS

• Labs, Activities, Videos

1. Organize and Practice Vocabulary

2. Reading & Comprehension Strategies

3. Writing Opportunities & Scaffolds

4. Daily Listening & Speaking Opportunities

5. Differentiation

6. Formative Assessment & Reteach

Formative Assessment Reteach Opportunities

Higher level questions• “Research shows there’s a link between critical thinking skills and increased student achievement in the

classroom.” (Moore & Stanley, 2010)

• Higher level questions must be planned in order to be implemented effectively in the classroom.

• Levels of Questions

• Knowledge

• Comprehension

• Application

• Analysis

• Synthesis

• Evaluation

• Plan and provide a variety of questions at each level and build student knowledge and critical thinking by providing Higher Level Questions.

2014 STAAR-Released Question:

8.6A(See Slide 11)

How can you change the amount of force necessary to move

an object?

Why do things move?

Determine the net force acting on the boat in the picture below. What is the

resulting motion of the boat?

How are force and motion related?

What would happen if waves from the water pushed against the boat in the opposite direction at 100N?

Justify your answer.

•Interactive Word Wall- Current, working models with student contributions • Interactive Word Walls Article: http://learningcenter.nsta.org/files/ss1103_45.pdf

• “Word walls can be arranged on cupboard doors or classroom walls, or hung from the ceiling with wire and string.”

• “Maximum instructional potential and efficiency are achieved when interactive word-wall construction is aligned with lessons and students are allowed to participate in the process. As a result, walls are usually built over many days and are finished as a unit nears completion. Word walls support units and are changed or replaced as units change.”
