Prior to this unit, in Grade 5, students were asked to design an experiment to test the effect of forces on an object. During Grade 6, students previously studied conservation of energy. During this unit, students build on previous knowledge to relate conservation of energy as it relates to motion. Students compare kinetic and potential energy; investigate the effects of unbalance forces on an object s position, direction, and speed; calculate average speed; and measure and graph changes in motion. Students also investigate how inclined planes and pulleys can be used to change the amount of force to move an object. After this unit, in Grade 7, students will explore forces in relationship to living systems and work. page 1 of 17
2 STAAR Note: This is an important foundational piece for the understanding of force and motion. It is the first time students are introduced to kinetic and potential energy and (6.8A), and these are not revisited before tested as a Supporting Standard in Grade 8. Although, 6.8B is not identified as a Supporting Standard, it is the first time that students are introduced to the concept of unbalanced forces. This builds content for Readiness Standard 8.6A that will be tested on STAAR Grade 8. Calculating average speed (6.8C) and measuring and graphing changes in motion (6.8D) are identified as Supporting Standards and are not directly taught again before testing in Grade 8. Supporting Standards 6.8A, 6.8C, and 6.8D and Readiness Standard 8.6A will be tested on STAAR Grade 8 under Reporting Category 2: Force, Motion, and Energy. According to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in the Benchmarks for Science Literacy (Project 2061) [online version], by the end of 8 th grade students should know that an unbalanced force acting on an object changes its speed or direction of motion, or both. 4F/M3a American Association for the Advancement of Science. (1993). Benchmarks on-line. Retrieved November 2009, from MISCONCEPTIONS/UNDERDEVELOPED CONCEPTS: MISCONCEPTIONS: Students may think that sustained motion requires sustained force. Students may think if there is no motion, there is no force acting upon an object. PERFORMANCE INDICATORS CONCEPTS KEY UNDERSTANDINGS FOR LEARNERS page 2 of 17

Do not enter preparatory or equipment storage rooms or chemical storerooms. Always wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water before leaving the laboratory. Use lab equipment appropriately Note: By the end of the 8th grade, students should know that: Science ethics demand that scientists must not knowingly subject coworkers, students, or community residents to health or property risks without their prior knowledge and consent. 1C/M5b* 6.2 Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student uses scientific inquiry methods during laboratory and field investigations. The student is expected to: 6.2A plan and implement comparative and descriptive investigations by making observations, asking well-defined questions, and using appropriate equipment and technology Implement COMPARATIVE AND DESCRIPTIVE INVESTIGATIONS Comparative and descriptive investigations page 5 of 17
6 Making observations Asking well-defined questions Using appropriate equipment and technology STAAR Notes: Comparative and descriptive investigations (Texas Education Agency. ( ). Laboratory and Field Investigations FAQ, August Retrieved from Comparative investigations involve collecting data on different organisms/objects/ features/events, or collecting data under different conditions (e.g., time of year, air temperature, location) to make a comparison. The hypothesis identifies one independent (manipulated) variable and one dependent (responding) variable. A fair test * can be designed to measure variables so that the relationship between them is determined. Descriptive investigations involve collecting qualitative and/or quantitative data to draw conclusions about a natural or man-made system (e.g., rock formation, animal behavior, cloud, bicycle, electrical circuit). A descriptive investigation includes a question, but no hypothesis. Observations are recorded, but no comparisons are made and no variables are page 6 of 17
7 manipulated. * A fair test is conducted by making sure that only one factor (variable) is changed at a time, while keeping all other conditions the same. 6.2B design and implement experimental investigations by making observations, asking well-defined questions, formulating testable hypotheses, and using appropriate equipment and technology Design, Implement INVESTIGATIONS Experimental investigations Making observations Asking well-defined questions Formulating testable hypotheses Using appropriate equipment and technology STAAR Notes: Experimental investigations (Texas Education Agency. ( ). Laboratory and Field Investigations FAQ, August Retrieved from Experimental investigations involve designing a fair test* similar to a comparative investigation, but a control is identified. The variables are measured in an effort to gather evidence to support or not support a causal relationship. This is often called a controlled experiment. * A fair test is conducted by making sure that page 7 of 17
8 only one factor (variable) is changed at a time, while keeping all other conditions the same. TxCCRS Note: I.

ELPS.c.1 ELPS.c.1C ELPS.c.1E ELPS.c.5 ELPS.c.5B The ELL uses language learning strategies to develop an awareness of his or her own learning processes in all content areas. In order for the ELL to meet grade-level learning expectations across the foundation and enrichment curriculum, all instruction delivered in English must be linguistically accommodated (communicated, sequenced, and scaffolded) commensurate with the student's level of English language proficiency. The student is expected to: use strategic learning techniques such as concept mapping, drawing, memorizing, comparing, contrasting, and reviewing to acquire basic and grade-level vocabulary internalize new basic and academic language by using and reusing it in meaningful ways in speaking and writing activities that build concept and language attainment The ELL writes in a variety of forms with increasing accuracy to effectively address a specific purpose and audience in all content areas. ELLs may be at the beginning, intermediate, advanced, or advanced high stage of English language acquisition in writing. In order for the ELL to meet grade-level learning expectations across foundation and enrichment curriculum, all instruction delivered in English must be linguistically accommodated (communicated, sequenced, and scaffolded) commensurate with the student's level of English language proficiency. For Kindergarten and Grade 1, certain of these student expectations do not apply until the student has reached the stage of generating original written text using a standard writing system. The student is expected to: write using newly acquired basic vocabulary and content-based grade-level vocabulary page 17 of 17
