Description

In this module, students explore how motion energy can move and change in a collision. In the first focus question, students learn how motion energy can change into heat, light, and sound and move to another object. In the second focus question, students use evidence from collisions to construct a claim that faster objects have more motion energy. They read about how being fast can help plants and animals survive. In the third focus question, students look at ways that motion energy can change to heat. They carry out an investigation into how the surface affects how far an object slides. They learn how air can slow objects down and construct an explanation that motion energy causes air to heat up. They learn that when objects deform, motion energy changes to heat. In focus question four, they learn that a helmet can protect our brain by changing motion energy to heat. This Asynchronous Canvas course prepares teachers to: • Access online teacher and student resources • Develop understanding of the unit’s storyline, instructional model, and standards alignment. • Organize and manage the materials in the unit to support student learning activities. • Support and assess student sense-making with a variety of strategies, including science notebooks. • Provide examples or resources about STEM-related career choices to use with student
