Motion Gr. 5-8

By George Graybill

Take the mystery out of motion. Our resource gives you everything you need to teach young scientists about motion. Start off by learning about speed and distance. Recognize if things are standing still or in motion. Graph the velocity of students walking home from school at different speeds. Identify when a skydiver is accelerating during their jump. Follow directions to find your way using a treasure map. Find out about frequency and pitch in vibrating motion. Conduct an experiment with a bicycle wheel and office chair to learn about circular motion. Finally, identify the wavelength and amplitude on a wave. Aligned to the Next Generation State Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional hands-on experiments, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
