Our FIRST QUARTER science unit:
Motion and Design:
Motion and Design Vocabulary:
Force and Motion:
**Learning Target: I can understand force and motion and the relationship between them.
Friction:
**Learning Target: I can determine how friction affects the motion of an object.
Gravity and Inertia:
**Learning Target: I can explain how gravity and inertia affect motion.

Newton's Laws of Motion:
Learning Targets:
**I can explain the three laws of motion
**I can explain that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force (i.e. inertia)
**I can explain that it takes more force to move an object with a greater mass (i.e. moving a large piece of furniture requires more force than to move a small book; meaning acceleration)
**I can explain that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. (i.e. action and reaction)
**I can explain the three laws of motion
**I can explain that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force (i.e. inertia)
**I can explain that it takes more force to move an object with a greater mass (i.e. moving a large piece of furniture requires more force than to move a small book; meaning acceleration)
**I can explain that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. (i.e. action and reaction)

Energy:
**Learning Target: I can understand the different types of energy.
**Learning Target: I can explain how energy affects the motion, distance, and speed of an object.
**Learning Target: I can explain how energy affects the motion, distance, and speed of an object.
Heat Energy:
(We will revisit this concept during our weather unit: Heat Transfer)
**Learning Target: I can share what I know about heat energy, conductors, and insulators.
**Learning Target: I can share what I know about heat energy, conductors, and insulators.
Motion Graphs:
**Learning Targets: I can read, interpret and discuss a motion graph
**I know that Time = Distance / Speed (time= distance divided by speed)
**I also know that Speed = Distance / Time (speed=distance divided by time)
**I know that Time = Distance / Speed (time= distance divided by speed)
**I also know that Speed = Distance / Time (speed=distance divided by time)
Physical Vs. Chemical Changes of MATTER:
**Learning Target: I can explain the difference between a physical change and a chemical change of matter.
