MOTION

What is motion?
 If you are standing still like a statue, are
you in motion?

Image source

 How do you know?

How do you know
something is moving?
• Look at this picture to help you think about
the process.

• What is motion? Image source

• Discuss with your partner.

 Motion
 What we have decided.

1. Motion is
 Motion
 Motion: when an object changes its
position it is in motion.
 Let’s watch this dog’s motion.

What words can we use to explain/tell
where something is positioned?

 Look at this picture

Image source

 I love cupcakes! My favorite is blue

frosting. Using positional words, help
me choose the blue one.
 You can also use distance to tell the
position of an object.
 Distance: is the amount of space
between two things.
 Use your ruler to measure the distance
between the front cover and the back
cover of your binder in inches.

 Do all things move in the same way?
 Discuss and make a list with your
partner naming at least 2 ways things
move.
Some ways things move.
Back and forth

Some more ways things move.

Force
Can something move by itself?
 Force has to be applied in order for
something to move.

Image source

 What force is being used here?

 What is force?
 Force: is a push or pull on an object. Forces
puts objects in motion.
Force changes how an object moves. It may also
slow, stop, or change the direction of the motion of
something that is already moving.
 Let’s try something.
Look at this milk crate. Is there any force acting
on this crate?
How can you make this crate move?
 Was that a push or a pull? Did the motion
pull it closer to the force, or push it away
from the force?
 Let’s move it again.
 Was that a push or a pull? Did the motion
pull it closer to the force, or push it away
from the force?
 Let’s move it again.
 Was that a push or a pull?
What would happen..
 What do you think would happen if two students
on opposite sides push gently at the same time?
 Discuss with your partner.

 Let’s try it .
 Why doesn’t it move?
 The forces are balanced. Balanced forces do

not cause motion because the forces are acting

on it equally.
What would happen if only one student pushes?

 The force is now unbalanced.

 A force is unbalanced if it causes
movement.

We are surrounded by forces. Without

forces we couldn’t do anything! Take a
look around. Do you see examples of force
(push or pull)? Discuss with your team.
 Go on a force hunt!
 Using an iPad, your team will take 2 pictures to show
showing the forces at work in this classroom, either pulling or
pushing.
 Save the pictures to the camera roll.

 Upload the pictures to .

 Explain whether the force is a pull or a push. Remember to

give evidence for your claim.

 You have 10 minutes to complete this adventure!

 In your notebook…
 Tell me 3 things you know about motion.
 Tell me 2 things you know about force.
 Tell me 1 thing you know about position.
