Module 21: Moving All Around- Science 2 - Course Guide

Module Overview:

In this module, students will learn to trace and compare patterns of movement, investigate forces on an object, observe how magnets are used in everyday life, classify objects by magnetism, and investigate how magnets can make objects move without touching them. They will formulate questions about gravity and explain the basic concept of gravity.

Module Materials:

Lesson # Lesson Title Material(s)

Learning Coach Notes:

Lesson # Lesson Title Notes
1 Objects Moving After completing this lesson, ask your student to explain what force is and how it causes motion.
2 Magnets After your student completes the lesson, ask your student to explain the parts of a magnet, and what types of objects can be attracted to magnets.
3 Gravity After completing this lesson, ask students to explain what gravity is and why it is important.
4 Project: Water Bottle Drop Ask your student to review the directions for this project before they begin. When finished review their work with them, asking them to double-check and make sure they followed the directions.

Module Guiding Questions:

When a student starts a lesson ask them questions to check for prior knowledge and understanding and to review concepts being taught. At the end of the lesson ask the questions again to see if their answer changes.

Lesson Title Question
Objects Moving
  1. What is motion?
Magnets
  1. How are magnets used?
Gravity
  1. What is gravity?
Project: Water Bottle Drop
  1. How does an object’s mass affect gravity?

Module Video Questions:

When a student watches a video take time to ask them questions about what they watched. Suggested questions for the videos in this module are listed here. Suggestion: Have the student watch the entire video first all the way through. Then have them watch the video a second time, as they watch it pause the video and ask the questions.

Lesson Title Video Question
Objects Moving Force in Action at the Park
  1. What forces caused motion at the park?

Module Suggested Read Aloud Books:

Take time to read to your student or have them read aloud to you. Read a different book each day. While reading the book point out concepts being taught. You may purchase these books or find them at your local library. Suggested things to discuss while reading the book:

  • What is the main idea?
  • What are three things new you learned?
  • How does this book relate to what you are learning about?

# Book Author Lexile Level
1 Gravity Jason Chin
2 Gravity Is a Mystery M. Branley and Edward Miller
3 Forces Make Things Move Bradley and Paul Meisel
4 The Magic School Bus Plays Ball: A Book About Forces Joanna Cole

Module Outing:

Take some time to apply what your student is learning to the real world. Suggested outings are below.
