5-E Learning Cycle

Engage - 15 minutes

• Place students in 3 table groups with 3, 3, 4 at each table.

• Teachers place 3 different types of balls (basketball, tennis ball, golf ball) on the ground and ask students to make the balls move without touching them.

• Predicted student answers:

  • Move

  • Go

  • It's not gonna move

  • It cant hear us

• The teacher will then ask students how they can make the balls move by touching them and listing ideas to write down on an anchor chart.

• Potential student answers:

  • Kick it

  • Throw it

  • Blow on it

  • Touch it

  • Roll it

• The teacher will then test a couple of the ideas to begin the lesson idea of “Objects cannot move without force.”

• Teacher will explain to students that a “push” is an example of a force. Forces make objects move.

• Teacher will ask students to act out or explain different examples of objects being pushed (kind’ve like charades)

• Predicted Student Answers:

  • Pushing a shopping cart

  • Pushing someone

  • Bowling ball

  • Car going forward

  • Baseball

  • Swinging on a swing

Explore - 25 minutes

• Teachers will give groups of students a box of a couple of small items (toy car, marble, penny, etc) and ask groups of students to figure out different ways to make the objects move on a table.

• Teacher will put out a 5 minute timer and walk around to assist student exploration and discussion

• Teacher asks: “How did you make those objects move?”

• Predicted student answers:

  • I rolled the marble off the table

  • I pushed the car around the table

  • I slid the penny across the table

• Teacher puts class into groups of 2 and hands out worksheet

  • For our activity today we will be doing pom-pom races where you and your partner will be competing to see who gets their pom-pom down the track the fastest in a series of rounds. You can’t use your hands though, you must use a magic straw and blow the pom-pom down the track!

• Have students gather around the lead table and the teacher models how to create a track out of masking tape. Encourage them to zigzag the track. Show students the correct way to blow the pom-pom in the game and correct ways to use straws.

  • You are going to have 20 minutes to build your track then play against a partner. Each round, you will say go, then both blow your pom-pom inside the track. Whoever gets to the end the fastest wins the round, and you’ll put a tally mark on your paper.

Explain - 30 minutes

• Teacher will bring the class back together and ask each group of students which student won the pom-pom game.

  • Does anyone remember why we played this game? Was it just for fun? What did you notice? What was hard?

• Predicted student responses:

  • Because it was pushing the ball

  • Because it is science

• Ask students: How was it possible that the pom-pom moved with the straw? Is it a magic straw? Did the pom-pom grow feet and run to the finish?

• Predicted student responses:

  • We blew the pom-pom with our straw that has air

  • The air

  • It has legs

• Ask students: Would air be an example of a force? Why?

• Predicted student responses:

  • Yes because it moves

  • No because it is not moving

  • Sometimes because it can move but also be still

• Tell students: Just like you push an object to create force, air is also an example of a force because it pushes the pom-pom forward to move it! We know that objects move by force of pushing.

• Tell

Extend - 30 minutes

• Teacher will ask students: “Has anyone heard of Rube Goldberg?”

• Read book: “Just Like Rube Goldberg: The Incredible True Story of the Man Behind the Machines”

• Tell students: Rube Goldberg made these machines that do simple tasks but how do all of the objects in his machine move?

• Predicted student responses:

  • Push

  • Rolling

  • Sliding

  • Falling

• Watch Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHwDf8njVfo from 1:46-end

• Tell students: In our groups, we will be creating our very own rube goldberg experiments on each table. You guys will be provided with materials as well. In your machines, you have to have 2 objects being pushed!

• Ask students to draw their first idea of their machine as a group on a blank piece of paper. Have them label the parts where an object is being pushed.

Evaluate - 15 minutes

• Hand out blank pieces of paper and have students draw 1 picture of something they learned today with a complete sentence below it as well

• Collect these papers as an exit ticket

What evidence will you gather to understand if all of your students met the learning outcomes you described above?

• Formative assessment evidence will be gathered during the blueprint section of rube goldberg, where they must label sections of their idea with pushing an object, the objective of the lesson. It will also be gathered in class discussions during explore and explain lessons.

• Recap what happened the week before. ↓

  • Teacher asks: Do you remember what we did a couple of weeks ago? What was our main idea of the lesson?

  • Predicted student responses: we did marbles, cars, pennies, blew in a straw, made a machine, pushed a tennis ball

• Tug of War - Students will be put into two, even teams to face off in a tug of war to demonstrate that an equal force by pulling will create a standstill.

• Teacher will tell students to pull as hard as they can for 5 seconds, then we will measure how far the rope went using a meter stick

  • Teacher asks: Why did it take awhile for the rope to make it to one side?

• Teacher will then use simulation to model unequal forces:

Engage - 10

• Ask students what we focused on during the first two Saturday sciences

  • Expected answer: Push and Pull

• Ask them to give you an example of a push and a pull in their everyday life

• Present students with a picture of different sports

• Baseball, pingpong, basketball, hockey

• Ask students: How do these sports use force and motion?

  • Pingpong: swing, ball hitting paddle

  • Basketball: shooting

  • Hockey: swing, stick hitting puck

Explore - 30

• Students will be split into 3 groups of 3, and will be investigating objects of different weights along with using different amounts of force

• Teacher will explain the activity

  • Today we will be doing an activity where we’re testing balls of different weights. This is similar to the different amounts of force each person used during our tug of war activity last week. First, you are going to focus on a ping pong ball down a ramp. You’ll place it at the top of the ramp, then put your finger in the front of it so it doesn’t go down. Someone in your group will say go and you all will watch the ping pong ball go down the ramp and measure how far it goes. Then write it down in each box. You’ll do it three times each. Then you’ll do the same thing with a marble.

  • Turn and talk with your table, what will happen for each ball and which one you think will go the farthest down the ramp

• Each teacher will be in charge of a group, making sure the experiments stay consistent

• Students will use this worksheet: Week 3 Worksheet

Explain - 15

• Gather students together for a class discussion

• Teacher will ask:

  • What did you discover about ball 1? (potentially ask them what happened when they let it go down the ramp)

    • Was this ball heavier or lighter?

  • What did you discover about ball 2?

    • Was this ball heavier or lighter?

  • Which ball went farther? Ball 1 or ball 2? Why?

Formative Assessment Plan & Evidence

What evidence will you gather to understand if all of your students met the learning outcomes you described above?

We will gather an exit ticket from each student where they will explain how weight affects force. We will also record student discussion about this topic as well.

Accommodations and Modifications

What needs do you anticipate students might need based on prior experiences? Extra time to complete activities. Brain breaks.

Materials

• What can we conclude about how weight affects force?

• (if students are having trouble answering, ask them to look at their data showing how far each ball went)

Extend - 60 minutes

• Students will begin building their own Rube Goldberg machines individually based on the designs they did the week before.

• They will hopefully be able to finish building and begin testing. If not, next week will be dedicated to testing.

• They will be able to revise their designs as they go if necessary.

5-E Learning Cycle

Engage

• Review prior knowledge about how objects move

  • Ask students: Raise your hand if you can name different ways objects can move that we’ve learned during Saturday Science.

  • Predicted student answers:

    • Pushing

    • Pulling

    • Kicking

    • Throwing

    • Tug of War

• Teacher says: Right, so it sounds like we’ve definitely learned that things move by pushing and pulling, or another word for that is force. But what happens if we don’t push or pull an object, does it move?

  • Predicted student response:

    • No

• Hold up a pencil and drop it to the ground and ask students if they can explain why the pencil fell to the floor since it wasn’t pushed or pulled. Allow for student response.

• Tell students: This is a special instance called gravity. Raise your hand if you’ve ever heard of the word “gravity”. It’s a force on Earth that pulls everything to the ground. It’s something we cannot see. Our gravity on Earth is not the same on other planets, where they have little gravity and nothing is pulled to the ground.

• Read Gravity book to students

• Students receive large, blank anchor charts and will be asked to draw a visual representation of what they learned from the book and our demonstration. This is acting as a visual of the conclusions they’re making.

Explore -

• Pass out the “zero gravity classroom” worksheet where students have to imagine what their classroom here would look like if there was no gravity and nothing was pulled to the ground.

• Zero Gravity Classroom

Explain -

• After 10 minutes, students will share their pictures with their table groups then share out to the class using the document camera.

• Students should be able to explain the specific parts of their picture

• Ask students: What would our classroom look like if there was even more gravity? Would everything be super heavy?

• Start to explain balloon rocket races and tell students: We are going to make balloon objects where we will see pushing in action and how gravity pulls the balloon rocket down to the ground.

• Pass out worksheet that collects data and reflects on the data Balloon Rocket Races

• Teachers will ask questions that were on the worksheet for class discussion: How does the force of air affect the balloon’s movement? How does gravity affect the balloon’s movement? What would happen to the balloons if there wasn’t gravity on Earth?

Extend

• Students will continue to build and revise their rube goldberg machines and teachers will pass out ziplock bags with what the students built from the week before as well as show them their videos from last week

• Teachers will walk around and help students test and revise their machines to be able to have success

• Teachers will record the new machines the students built before cleaning up

  • Have them count how long it takes them to get their marble through their maze

Explain

• Come back together as a class discuss

  • How long did it take your marble to get through the maze?

  • How was force used during this activity?

  • How was motion used during this activity?

  • Did you notice anything that helped your marble get through the maze easier? (going faster or taking your time with it?) Why?

Extend

• Put up four sheets of construction paper around the classroom (all different colors)

• Show students a variety of questions on the PowerPoint

• Students will move around the room to the color of paper that corresponds with the answer they believe is correct

Evaluate

• Informal assessment

  • PowerPoint questions will show teachers if students have obtained knowledge about motion and force over the past four weeks by correctly standing by the construction papers
