Science Concept Planner

Have an open discussion with the students over Discuss with the students about why they think Explore what different objects use ramps?
what they believe are simple machines? ramps are helpful? Model how ramps work. Open discussion on what you would use to build
ramps?
OELDS: Describe, compare, sort, classify, order OELDS: With modeling support, explore
position and/or motion of objects. OELDS: Explore objects, materials and
environment

Explain a time when we have used a ramp CONCEPT 1 CONCEPT 2 Working together by Creating ramps and
and how did it help us. (Who has used a investigating which ramps will work and why.
ramp?)
Slope
Simple Machines
& OELDS: Engage in simple investigations
OELDS: Record observations using words, Distance
pictures, charts and graphs

Observe different items to see which items Why did it (the object used to go down the
roll and where did it roll to. (What object ramp) move? Students share their thoughts
rolled? Where did it roll to?) SCIENCE TOPIC and ideas.

OELDS: Make careful observations Ramps OELDS: Share findings, ideas and explanations
CONCEPT 3 CONCEPT 4

Explore different items by weighing and Students will predict where there are
measuring them using different materials. different ramps located? Who or what uses
(Ruler, measuring tape, scale) Weight Geography ramps and why do they think that?

OELDS: Use simple tools to extend Distance Functions OELDS: Make predictions
investigation

Identify what objects rolled? Why did that Using the student’s knowledge discuss where What kind of people use ramps based on
object roll and how far or where did it roll to? they have seen a ramp or ramps before? evidence we have found thus far?

OELDS: Identify patterns and relationships OELDS: Pose questions about physical and OELDS: Make inferences, generalizations, and
natural environment explanations based on evidence
