Forces and Motion Scavenger Hunt

Summary: Assessment of identifying objects that are pushed and pulled found in our school environment, thus bringing the learning into our real world.

Essential Question: What causes objects to move differently under different circumstances?

Learning Objective: The student will investigate the effects of force on the movement of objects.

Standards:
1.Objects move in ways that can be observed,
described, predicted, and measured.
2.Take a picture with a digital camera NETS-SIV.2
3. Load a picture to a computer from a digital camera and save it. NETS-S IV.2

Students will work in small groups using digital cameras to locate and capture examples of things we push or pull found in a school setting. Students may locate examples within parameters set by the teacher, such as staying within the building, playground, etc.

Students will then collect pictures and create a digital presentation with data collected demonstrating their understanding of concepts and standards.
Each group will present their presentation.

**Extra adults might be needed for supervision of students if students are allowed to leave the building.
