=Instructional Plan/Learning Activities= Students will talk about different forces and actions that they observed through a discussion board: WallWisher. Grades 6 - 8 Students describe the force of gravity, the motion of objects, the properties of waves, and the wavelike property of energy in light waves. e. Describe and apply an understanding of the effects of multiple forces on an object, and how unbalanced forces will cause changes in the speed or direction. || Grades 6 - 8 Students describe the force of gravity, the motion of objects, the properties of waves, and the wavelike property of energy in light waves. e.

 * Hook**: Students will be assigned to three different stations, where they can experience first hand, the law of inertia.
 * Learning Activity (Graphic Organizer, Cooperative Learning, Technology)**:
 * Artifact**:
 * Imovie:** Students will create an Imovie that shows the characteristics of Newton's first law of physics. || Student will understand that the laws of force and motion are the same across the universe. || Students will know what happens when an object interacts with an outside force. || Students will be able to explain; Justify the law of inertia. || Science and Technology - D4 Force & Motion
 * **2.**
 * Hook**: Wagon demonstration with mass and force (F = ma). This can be related to everyday life; people trading in heavy SUVs for lighter cars that get better gas mileage.
 * Learning Activity (Graphic Organizer, Cooperative Learning, Technology)**: Four-Column Chart Students will be using this chart in groups during the observation activity, where students will move various objects on different surfaces and record their observations.
 * Artifact**:
 * Prezi**: Students will create a prezi slide show of a particular scenario that proves Newton's second law of physics. || Student will understand that the laws of force and motion are the same across the universe. || Students will know that it takes more force to accelerate an object with a larger mass. || Students will be able to Interpret; Tell a story of a personal experience with acceleration. || Science and Technology - D4 Force & Motion
 * **3.**
 * Hook**: Students will observe a sailboat demonstration taken from a Mythbusters Video
 * Learning Activity (Graphic Organizer, Cooperative Learning, Technology)**: Cooperative Learning: Think - Pair - Share. Students will use the E - Chart to record what they observed. As students move on to check for understanding, they can use the Wheel - Idea Chart to help organize their ideas. They will be assigned the task to find different scenarios in the world where we see this law of motion.
 * Artifact**:
 * Comic Life:** Students will make a comic life page showing a scene where it outlines the effects of an action. || Student will understand that the laws of force and motion are the same across the universe. || Students will know that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. || Students will be able to apply; Design different scenarios that have a action and reaction. || Science and Technology - D4 Force & Motion
 * **4.**
 * Hook**: Students will be asked to individually think of what comes to mind when they hear or see the word, Gravity. The will record their brainstorming results on the board.
 * Learning Activity (Graphic Organizer, Cooperative Learning, Technology)**: Students will be put into Partners based on what type of piece of candy they received at the door. They will try and formulate questions to ask the astronaut by using the Cluster Web Chart.
 * Artifact**:
 * Podcast**: Students will create a podcast with their Skype interview with an astronaut. || Student will understand that an object can have characteristics like the natural force of gravity, friction, velocity, and momentum. || Students will know that gravity is a natural given force that acts around the Earth universally. || Students will be able to perspective; analyze the characteristics of gravity. || Science and Technology - D2 Earth

Science and Technology - D4 Force & Motion Grades 6 - 8 Students describe the force of gravity, the motion of objects, the properties of waves, and the wavelike property of energy in light waves. c. Describe and apply an understanding of how the gravitational force between any two objects would change if their mass or the distance between them changed. || Grades 6 - 8 Students describe the force of gravity, the motion of objects, the properties of waves, and the wavelike property of energy in light waves. c. Describe and apply an understanding of how the gravitational force between any two objects would change if their mass or the distance between them changed. || Grades 6 - 8 Students plan, conduct, analyze data from, and communicate results of investigations, including simple experiments. f.Communicate, critique, and analyze their own scientific work and the work of other students. ||
 * **5.**
 * Hook**: As a class try and define momentum, and then separate the class into two groups and have them show me their understanding using various objects I give them.
 * Learning Activity (Graphic Organizer, Cooperative Learning, Technology)**: Students will use the Four - Column Chart to record their observations. (Mass, Time, Distance, Ramp Height)
 * Artifact**:
 * BLOG**: Students will take the results from the formative assessment and interpret the data on their blog accounts based on guided questions. || Student will understand that an object can have characteristics like the natural force of gravity, friction, velocity, and momentum. || Students will know that as an object's velocity increases, the momentum of the object increase as well. || Students will be able to self knowledge; realize that it takes longer for an object to slow down if it has a high rate of speed and high mass. || Science and Technology - D4 Force & Motion
 * **6.**
 * Hook**: Share with the class that friction is forever surrounding us. I will use whatever I have at the time to prove that friction surrounds us. I will share personal experiences.
 * Learning Activity (Graphic Organizer, Cooperative Learning, Technology)**: Students will Pair-and-share their personal picture, video, or story with a partner and the partner has to point out where friction occurs.
 * Artifact**:
 * Prezi**: Students will use take an everyday object, break it down, and explain where friction takes place. || Student will understand that an object can have characteristics like the natural force of gravity, friction, velocity, and momentum. || Students will know that friction is a force that acts in the opposite direction of an object's movement || Students will be able to empathy; imagine what the world would be like if friction did not exist. || Science and Technology - B1 Skills and Traits of Scientific Inquiry
