A. Introduction-

To introduce this activity, ask two student volunteers to stand in front of the classroom to
physically demonstrate and discuss the results of each of the following scenarios:

1. Activity 1: Two students start from the same position at one end of the classroom. One
student takes giant-steps while the other takes baby-steps. Each student takes one step per
second. Who gets to the other end of the classroom first? How many steps are taken? Discuss
the results.

2. activity 2. One student starts behind the other at the same end of the classroom, both
walking with equal stride and pace. Each student takes one step per second. Who gets to the
other end of the classroom first? How many steps does each student take? Discuss the results.
Ask students to predict the effect of changing the length of stride.

INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITY

3. Instruct students that they will use Gizmos to learn about the relationship between distance
and time.

1. DVD Ch. 12 Lesson 1 Motion, Forces and Energy

2. Write Vocabulary for Lesson 1

3. Discovery Education clips on forces, motion and energy

4. In their notebooks, try their best to explain their walk from their last class to my class.

5. Share/Post on board

EVALUATION
1. Why does everything fall down and what is mass?

2. What is gravity?

3. How much do you weigh? (force)

Procedure-

1. Distribute Gizmo handout to each group of students

2. Tell students that they will take turns using Gizmos.

3. Students will work in groups of two. One will be the mouse driver and the other the
reader/recorder for the group.

4. The "Mouse Driver" controls the action of the mouse and movement on the computer
screen.

5. The "Reader/Recorder" will read the directions from the activity sheet and record
observations while guiding the activity.

6. Partners should switch roles until all have moved the runner.

Section 2

1. Demonstrate how to measure the speed of a marble.

2. Video game connections

3. Airplane connections

Section 3:

MASS

1. All objects have mass.

What is mass?

what is it measured in?

FORCE

2. Changes motion.

Size of acceleration depends on size of force.

Doubling force does what to acceleration

Doubling mass does what to acceleration.

Show equation force = mass x acceleration (f = ma), say what each is measured in.

GRAVITY

3. Change in weight due to gravity acceleration

Gravity is attractive. The bigger the mass stronger attraction.

Earth is big enough to notice gravity (falling)

Weight is the force from f = ma where is the acceleration due to gravity.

C. Practice-

1. Students will measure the speed of a marble by measuring the speed of a marble 8 times.

2. Allow students to explore the Gizmo by moving and pressing any buttons.

3. Begin the lesson with the Gizmo Warm-up Activity

4. Give examples using f = ma, changing all three concepts

D. Independent Practice-

1. Students will take notes on vocabulary.

2. Students will write a paragraph on how our body converts energy from one form to
another.

3. Activity A- Learning about the runner's position

4. Activity B - Learning about the runner's direction and speed

5. Activity C - Learning about how to use two runners and two graphs

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

1. Students who need visual accommodations will sit in the front.

2. Students with learning disabilities will have text book highlighted and shortened
assignments.

3. Classic note taking

4. Descriptions through illustrations on the board

5. Video clip

F. Checking for understanding-

1. Discuss Vocabulary

2. Quiz on the clips

3. Discuss results of calculating marble speeds.

4. Active and fluid discussion in "their own words" regarding what was taught.
5. Questions or tasks that encourage students to reflect on their work

6. Worksheet questions and answers.

G. review the lesson-closure

1. Ask students what was learned in class

2. Students reflect on their work
