Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Forces, Motion, and Energy, Pushes and Pulls, Changes to the Speed or Direction of an Object's Motion, Types of Interactions, Relationship Between...

Main Concepts

Demonstrate that the greater the force (push or pull) applied to an object, the greater the change in motion of the object.

Investigate how objects are pulled to the ground unless something holds them up.

Demonstrate how a magnet can be used to make an object move without touching it.

Describe ways different objects move.

Predict and test how a push or pull will affect the motion of an object.

Pushes and pulls (forces) can have different strengths and directions and can cause objects to move.

The motion of objects can be changed by forces.

It takes energy to change the motion of objects.

The force behind a pull will make an object speed up or slow down.

Apply an understanding to the effects of different strengths of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.

Observe that a push or a pull can change the way an object is moving.

Pushing or pulling of an object can start or stop it

Pushing or pulling an object can change the direction of an object's motion.

Demonstrate that the way to change the motion of an object is by applying a push or a pull.

Motion is a key characteristic of all matter that can be observed, described and measured.

Apply an understanding to the effects of different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.

Force, motion, and energy are related and are a part of everyday life.

Investigate that things move in different ways, such as fast, slow, etc.

Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.

Predict and describe how a magnet can be used to push or pull an object.(ES)

Demonstrate that magnets can be used to make some things move without touching them.

Recognize that objects are pulled toward the ground unless something holds them up.

Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.

Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is a magnet? What would happen if I picked up a ball and let it go? What happens to a ball when you hit it with a bat? What causes the ball to move? What has to happen in order for a chair to move? Can a table move on its own, why or why not?

After the Game

Why is it easier to push a heavy object with two people? What is an example of something a magnet could pick up? What are some forces we use every day? How did you use the spring to push the car? Can you explain how gravity affected the balls in the dispenser? What happens when you pulled the slingshot back further?
