  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


    We are FOCUSING on identifying how forces work.

    We are FOCUSING on experimenting on how forces work.


    Success Criteria: I can...

    • Write answers to questions about forces.
    • Create animals showing Newton's third law out of popsicle sticks.
    • Drawing animals showing Newton's third law.
    • Explaining about how "Polar Express" shows the context of "Festivals and Celebrations."


                                                                                                              Achievement Objectives:

    Explore, describe, and represent patterns and trends for everyday examples of physical phenomena, such as forces.


    Activities:


    Monday


    • The students will first watch this   of physics in the circus.
    • Then the students will label and draw 6 more pictures which show Newton’s third law in their science books. Also, they will write an explanation for each picture for why it shows Newton’s third law.
    • They will then write a list of a minimum of 20 objects which show Newton’s third law and explain how in different situations for when it would be showing Newton’s third law.
    • Finally they will draw, label and colour the items and activities to do during Christmas as well as anything during Christmas which shows Newton’s third law. They can use this site for help.
    • The students will show cultural awareness of Christmas.

                                                                                                                   Tuesday


    The students will create animals which show Newton's third law of motion using popsicle sticks and draw the animal doing that as well.


                                                                                                                    Wednesday

    The students will watch "Polar Express" and explain how it relates to festivals and celebrations on this link.
