Grade Level: Second Grade | Content Area: Science | Duration of Unit: 4 weeks
Unit Overview:
This trunk breaks down some pretty complicated physics into bite-sized chunks for both teachers and students. Teachers will love it because their plans, materials, PowerPoint presentations, tests and handouts are all right there. Students will love it because the trunk provides TONS of hand-on learning opportunities geared to multiple intelligence and different ability levels.
Standards addressed:
- S2P2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the effect of a force (a push or a pull) in the movement of an object (changes in speed and direction).
- MGSE2.MD.1 Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.
- MGSE2.MD.3 Estimate lengths using units of inches, feet, centimeters, and meters.
- MGSE2.MD.4 Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit.
