Science Unit 2- PlanUnit Length: 9 weeks2346290-220736 Balance and Motion - FOSS Big Idea:Our physical world is governed by properties and interaction of matter and energy. There are different forms of energy. Each has its own characteristics and properties.NGSS Core Idea:Pushes and pulls can have different strengths and directions. Pushing and pulling on an object can change the speed or direction of its motion and can start or stop it.Crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science and engineering through their common application across fields: Systems: Defining the system under study—specifying its boundaries and making explicit a model of that system—provides tools for understanding and testing ideas that are applicable throughout science and engineering.Structure and Function: The way in which an object or living thing is shaped and its substructure determine many of its properties and functions.Stability and change: For natural and built systems alike, conditions of stability and determinants of rates of change or evolution of a system are critical elements of study.Cause and Effect, Mechanism and Explanation: Events have causes, sometimes simple, sometimes multifaceted. A major activity of science is investigating and explaining causal relationships and the mechanisms by which they are mediated. Such mechanisms can then be tested across given contexts and used to predict and explain events in new contexts.Energy and Matter: Flows, cycles, and conservation:. Tracking fluxes of energy and matter into, out of, and within systems helps one understand the systems’ possibilities and limitationsScience and Engineering Practices:Planning and Carrying out investigations to answer questions or test solutions to problems in K-2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to simple investigations, based on fair tests, which provide data to support explanations or design solutions. Analyzing and interpreting data from tests of an object or tool to determine if it works as intended.Asking Questions and Defining Problems builds on K-2 experiences and progresses to specifying qualitative relationships. Ask questions that can be investigated based on patterns such as cause and effect relationships. Define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or toolNew Jersey Common Core Standards:5.1.A. Understand Scientific Explanations:?Students understand core concepts and principles of science and use measurement and observation tools to assist in categorizing, representing, and interpreting the natural and designed world.Who, what, when, where, why, and how questions form the basis for young learners’ investigations during sensory explorations, experimentation, and focused inquiry.B. Generate Scientific Evidence Through Active Investigations:Observations and investigations form young learners’ understandings of science concepts.C. Reflect on Scientific KnowledgeInteracting with peers and adults to share questions and explorations about the natural world builds young learners’ scientific knowledge.D. Participate Productively in Science:Science practices include drawing or “writing” on observation clipboards, making rubbings, or charting the growth of plants.5.2.E. Forces and Motion:??It takes energy to change the motion of objects. The energy change is understood in terms of forces.Objects can move in many different ways (fast and slow, in a straight line, in a circular path, zigzag, and back and forth).A force is a push or a pull. Pushing or pulling can move an object. The speed an object moves is related to how strongly it is pushed or pulled. When an object does not move in response to a push or a pull, it is because another push or pull (friction) is being applied by the environmentSome forces act by touching, while other forces can act without touching.NGSSK-PS2-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.K-PS2.2 Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.3-PS2.1 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.3-PS2-2. Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.3-PS2-3. Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each mon Core State Standards:ELA-Reading Informational Text RI.2.10 By the end of the year, read and comprehend informational texts, including science and technical texts, in the grades 2-3 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.Writing- W.1.8 With guidance and support from adults, recall information from the experiences to gather information from provided sources to answer a question.W.2.2 Write informative/explanatory texts in which they introduce a topic, use facts and definitions to develop points and provide a concluding statement or section.Speaking and Listening:SL.1.5. Add drawing or other visual displays to descriptions when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings.SL.2.1. Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about grade 2 topics and texts with peers and adults in small and large groups.MATHEMATICS-Measurement and data: Represent and interpret data:2.MD.10 Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories.Grade 2Balance and MotionTable of ContentsConceptual FlowPage 5Unit OverviewPage 6Preconception and MisconceptionsPage 5Materials SheetPage 6New Jersey Common Core Standards in SciencePage 7Next Generation State StandardsPage 8Common Core State StandardsPage 9Investigation 1Pages 10-14Investigation 2Pages 15-19Investigation 3Investigation 4Investigation 5Pages 20-23Pages 24-27Pages 28-32Writing Prompts OverviewPage 33ResourcesPage 34Balance and MotionLinear(roll) motion in a straight lineRotational(Spin) motion around a point or lineMotionChange of position over timeBalanceCenter of gravityUNIT OVERVIEWBalance and MotionSummaryWe live in a dynamic world where everything is in motion, or so it seems. But not everything is moving the same way. Some things move from one place to another. Other things rotate around and around. Still other things are stationary, stable for a time, balanced on a thin line between stop and go. Other objects move back and forth or vibrate. These are the global phenomena that students experience in the?Balance and Motion Module.Enduring Understanding:Essential Questions: OverarchingThe motion of an object is determined by the sum of the forces (pushes and pulls) acting on it.You need a force to start moving, change the direction of, or stop an object. Force creates change in motionA force can be seen or unseen.Objects and systems that turn on a central axis exhibit rotational motion. Balance is a result of equal effort.Stability or instability in a system depends on the balance of competing interactions (forces).A stable position is one that is steady; the object is not falling over. The way an object balances can be changed by counterweighting; counterweights should be placed low or below an object in relation to the balance point.A runway must be high at the start and low at the finish for a sphere to roll the complete length.How do balance and motion affect our daily lives?Why do things move? How does force create and influence movement?How can an object be balanced?How can an object stop/go? Knowledge:Skills:Student will Know….A force is push or pull. A force, push, or pull can change the motion of an object in 3 ways: o go faster or start. o go slower or stop. o change the direction of the motion. Magnets make things move by an unseen force (push or pull). Magnets have poles that attract or repel each other. The amount of force (little or big) applied to an object directly affects the amount of change in motion. Balance is associated with position and weight.Students will be able to…Create and use representational models to demonstrate stable balanced systems.Construct and evaluate toys that demonstrate spinning, and explain how they operate.Design runways to control or change the motion of municate observations and compare stability an motion, using precise vocabulary.Plan and carry out investigations with sound and with magnetic force.Analyze and interpret observational data.Ask and answer questions.Plan and conduct simple investigations.Employ tools and techniques to gather data.Use data to construct reasonable municate investigations and explanations.Understand that scientists use different kinds of investigations and tools to develop explanations using evidence and knowledge.Evidence of Understanding:Pre- AssessmentNotebook and Journal EntriesPerformance AssessmentsReading PromptStudent Observation/Anecdotal NotesHomework Checkpoint AssessmentsI-Check AssessmentsUnit AssessmentsAssessments Data –Propagated to Genesis Investigation 1Pre AssessmentNotebook Assessment- SummativeI-Check 1I-Check 2I-Check 3I-Check 4Unit Post AssessmentPreconception /MisconceptionsBalance and MotionChildren often know what to do to make things move or change shape but are not able to describe how the size or direction of the push, pull, squeeze, or hit relate to the subsequent movement of the object. Stopping movement is usually attributed to the lack of action to keep the object moving: 'The push wore off.'Children usually know how to stop something moving but do not attribute the stopping action to a Force in the opposite direction of the movement. They think that things that recover their shape do so of their own accord, not because of a force coming from the 'springiness' of the material. Children do not have a problem recognizing movement but think the moving object, or specific parts of the object (the wheels for instance) have an in-built ability to move. Another example would be that: 'people move because they have legs.'Similarly, children might be said to have a 'simplistic' view of the reason for things falling. Things fall because you let them go and they do not need a force, whereas you need a force to make things 'go up'.When thinking about friction children tend to relate their ideas to how they feel: 'It stops because it gets tired', 'It's run out of energy'. Other reasons could be because the car is no longer on the slope, or because the toy is heavy.List other that you discover in your class:____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Materials SheetInvestigations:Inv.
