Lesson plans
Henry Ray III
Objectives:
6.17 (6.6A
TEKS/SE) Identify and describe the changes in position, direction of motion,
and speed of an object when acted upon by force.
112.22b (6.6) Science concepts. The
student knows that there is a relationship between force and motion.
T2 (IPC 4.B)
6.18 (6.6B TEKS/SE) Demonstrate that changes in motion can be measured and
graphically represented.
112.22b (6.6) Science concepts. The
student knows that there is a relationship between force and motion.
T2 (IPC 4.B)
Activities
& Resources:
Monday-Tuesday
The students will do a bottle rocket lab (baking soda
and vinegar) where the force (air pressure) that builds up in the bottle
(2-liter/3-liters) causes the top (rubber stopper) to shoot off.
Class work
Students will write and answer five questions based on the lab.
Second part on class will deal with the formula for speed
speed equals distance divide by time
Teacher and class will work several speed problems together.
Then the students will do a worksheet based on the speed formula.
Wednesday-Thursday
The student will
do a truck and ramp lab using wood cylinders and ramps. The students will roll the cylinder down the
ramp, three times, recording the distance and time each time. The student will graph the results (time vs distance) using a line graph. The remainder of the class time will be used
on the unit review.
Unit Test is on
Second part on class will deal with Potential and Kinetic energy. Using a
rubber ball diagrams, on the dry erase board of a ball in flight, students will
understand the difference between Potential and Kinetic energy. Students will
be given several terms use in explaining the differences between Potential and
Kinetic energy.
Class work
Complete a worksheet based on Potential and Kinetic energy.
Friday
Unit test on Forces of Motion
Assessment:
Monday-Tuesday
class work (speed formula worksheet)
Wednesday-Thursday grade pages 31-35 in guided reading and study workbook.
Friday Test

do a balloon lab using the materials listed below:
1. fishing line
2. a straw
3. tape
& 4. a balloon
