2.PS.1: Forces change the motion of an object
Forces change the motion of an object.
The Ohio's Learning Standards for Science (2018) outcome 2.PS.1 (Physical Science) for Grade 2 says: “Forces change the motion of an object.” This Fieldbook unit teaches it hands-on, with everyday materials and a printable teacher guide and student sheet for every lesson. Official wording: Ohio's Learning Standards for Science (2018).
Pushes, Pulls and Magnets Grade 3
Why a rolling ball always stops, whether a magnet can pull through a table, and how far a paper clip will jump. Three lessons on the pushes and pulls that start, stop and steer things.
- Why does a ball stop rolling? 45–60 min
Teams roll the same ball down the same ramp onto a hard floor, a carpet and a towel, and measure how far it goes each time. They find out that a rolling ball doesn't just run out of go: something rubs against it and slows it down.
