Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Forces, Motion, and Energy. Suitable for Grade 1, Grade 2, K.

Main Concepts

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.

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.

Demonstrate and record the ways that objects can move such as in a straight line, zig zag, up and down, back and forth, round and round, and fast and slow.

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

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

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

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

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

How can you make a balloon move? How can you see force happen when you kick a ball? What is the force that keeps us on the ground versus floating into the air?

After the Game

If a hair dryer blows out, what kind of force is it putting on the air? If a vacuum sucks in, what kind of force is it putting on the air? What happens to metal when it is close to a magnet? How did you make the force of the hair dryer stronger or weaker? Why did you need metal instead of the balloon to use the magnets? How were you able to alter the direction of the balloon and the magnet?
