Unit Lesson Plan – Atomic Structure



5th Grade, Unit 6 Lesson Plan – ForcesTeacher: Time Frame:16 DaysGrade:5thSchool:Subject:PSI ScienceNGSS/DCI5-PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions The gravitational force of Earth acting on an object near Earth’s surface pulls that object toward the planet’s center. (5-PS2-1)Instructional Objective:PS2.B:Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down.Essential Questions(What questions will the student be able to answer as a result of the instruction?)How is motion measured?How is speed calculated?What are contact forces (applied, frictional and normal)?What are non-contact forces?How do you know if forces are balanced or unbalanced?How do magnetic fields work?How do electrical fields work?How did scientists learn about gravitational force?When objects are dropped, which object will hit the ground first?How does increasing the distance between two objects change the force of gravity between those objects?How does changing the mass of two objects change the force of gravity between those objects?Knowledge & Skills(What skills are needed to achieve the desired results?)By the end of this unit, students will know:How motion and speed are measured and calculatedThe difference between contact and non-contact forcesThe forces that act on a falling objectThe history of our understanding of gravityThe relationship between mass and distance and how they relate to the force of gravityAn object’s mass does not influence the force of Earth’s gravity on itBy the end of this unit, students will be able to:Calculate speed, distance and timeDifferentiate between contact and non-contact forcesDescribe contact forces – applied, frictional and normalDescribe non-contact forces – magnetic, electrical and gravitationalExplain how the concept of gravity was observed throughout historyForm hypotheses about the rate at which objects will fall when droppedExplain how mass and distance relate to the strength of gravityAssessment(What is acceptable evidence to show desired results (rubrics, exam, etc.)? Attach CopyDuring the Smart Notebook lesson designed to introduce concepts, students will be continually questioned on these concepts using a combination of class work/homework questions and the SMART Response system. Classwork and Homework questions will be discussed as a class and misconceptions will be addressed by the teacher prior to the formal evaluations listed below.Lab: Electric Field HockeyQuiz 1: Motion & ForcesLab: Race to the BottomLab: Gravity SimulationQuiz 2: GravityUnit Test(What is the sequence of activities, learning experiences, etc, that will lead to desired results (the plan)?DayTopicClassworkHomework1Motion ReviewSlides 4-18N/A2Motion ReviewSlides 19-28;Classwork #1Homework #13Forces ReviewSlides 29-47N/A4Forces ReviewSlides 48-62;Classwork #2Homework #25Forces ReviewSlides 63-75N/A6Forces ReviewSlides 76-93N/A7Forces ReviewSlides 94-107;Classwork #3Homework #38Forces ReviewSlide 108Lab: Electric Field HockeyFinish Lab Questions9GravitySlides 109-130Study for quiz10Motion, Forces & GravityQuiz 1: Motion & Forces;Slides 131-139N/A11GravitySlide 140Lab: Race to the BottomFinish Lab Questions12GravitySlides 141-157;Classwork #4Homework #413GravitySlide 158Gravity SimulationFinish Lab Questions;Study for quiz14GravityQuiz 2: Gravity;Study GuideStudy Guide15Unit ReviewUnit ReviewStudy for test16Unit TestUnit TestN/A*While there are many slides for each topic, several slides within the notebook are hidden and won’t be used during instructional time.**HW Problems are currently not scaffolded from least to most difficult, but are instead listed in order of topic. Teacher should pay special attention at the end of each class period when assigning HW so that only problems related to the topic that was taught are being assigned. ................
