7-Forces+&+Motion

7.P.1.1 Explain how the motion of an object can be described by its position, direction of motion, and speed with respect to some other object. 7.P.1.2 Explain the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces acting on an object (including friction, gravity and magnets). 7.P.1.3 Illustrate the motion of an object using a graph to show a change in position over a period of time. 7.P.1.4 Interpret distance versus time graphs for constant speed and variable motion. || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Anchor Standard/Mathematical Practice(s)**=== 7.TT.1 Use technology and other resources for assigned tasks. Students will use laptops, stop-watches, and excel spreadsheet to assist them in the friction and motion labs.
 * ===**Common Core Standards**===
 * 7.P.1 Understand motion, the effects of forces on motion and the graphical representations of motion. **
 * Literacy Standards** ||
 * ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Information Technology Standard**===

7.RP.1 Apply a research process to complete given tasks. Students will work in groups research the effects of motion on a roller coaster and comparing those at Carowinds to other roller coasts in the United States.

7.SE.1 Apply responsible behaviors when using information and technology resources. Go over internet safety with the following links: []

Level 3 - **Applying** - Use the knowledge retained to successfully complete a lab. Level 4 - **Analyzing** - Analyze the results from science labs to form a detailed conclusion. Level 6 - **Creating** - Students will research a concept or topic for a class or group presentation. || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Learning Target/Task Analysis**=== > Time, Distance = Time*Speed, Time = Distance/Speed > motion and speed > direction of motion. > motion 7.P.1.4
 * 7.P.1.1**
 * I will explain my position in relation to a reference point.
 * I will calculate the speed of an object using the following formulas: Speed= Distance/
 * I will describe how an object’s position changes based on it’s direction of
 * 7.P.1.2**
 * I will analyze the results on an object effected by a balanced and/or an unbalanced force.
 * I will describe how objects at rest resist a change in their position or
 * I will describe how objects in motion resist a change in their position.
 * I will classify which forces are at work in a given situation.
 * I will create examples of real life situations where forces are at work
 * I will describe how changes in velocity, acceleration, and speed affect
 * 7.P.1.3**
 * I will observe an object over time to collect and organize data
 * I will use my understanding of distance and time to infer an object’s change in motion
 * I will create a graph using the data collected to illustrate the motion of an object
 * I will draw conclusions based on prepared graphs
 * I will analyze the prepared graphs and determine changes in motion

Pre-assessment and Post-assessment will be preformed using the following methods.

 * ====Quick poll (Clickers) ====
 * ====Google Docs ====
 * ====Thinkgate ====

Evaluate student understanding through responses to the following activities:
 * Average Speed Lab
 * Tic-Tac-Toe Board
 * Roller Coaster and Bridges projects

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Differentiation**

 * Cooperative Learning groups for study review activities, instructional and lab activities.
 * Average Speed lab - Students calculate their speed running, walking and skipping 25ft. Working in groups they average their speed and graph the results. Comparing and contrasting their individual speed with that of their group members.
 * Project-based learning (options/choice board)
 * Tic-Tac-Toe board with 9 options
 * Visual representations of concepts by means of demonstrations.
 * Collaborate with other Science classes in a game of tug-of-war to demonstrate net forces.
 * Kinesthetic Learning activities: Build roller coasters, bridges and various other models.
 * Roller coasters and bridges have set specifications for creating a workable coaster and sturdy bridge.
 * DSI – To introduce new vocabulary students will “Predict” their meaning by one of three ways:
 * D – Write what they think the definition is.
 * S – Write a sentence using that word.
 * I – Illustrate what they think the word means.
