Students will use the Learning Resources STEM Force & Motion Activity Set at home to plan and carry out an investigation to demonstrate how pushing and pulling on an object affects the motion of the object. Then, they will design a device to change the speed or direction of an object. After recording the data collected during their observations, students will analyze data to decide if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a force (a push or a pull). Students will share their findings in a report/presentation to the class and parents. It is my goal to transform my students into scientists. They are curious by nature, but I want them to take ownership of their learning by generating their own questions during exploration activities.
