Describing Distance

VIDEO: English Standard and Metric System Units

Students read about the origins of measuring for length, as they did this they underlined the items they thought were the most important.  From the reading student wrote Cornell notes highlighting the positive and negative aspects about the English Standard and Metric System Units.

Motion

Students participated in a hallway demonstration to create a definition of "motion" and begin to form an understanding that in order to tell if an object is in motion you  need to use a reference point.  As we brought our discussion to an end we completed a Frayer Model on the word "motion".

We finished the lesson by reading and taking Cornell notes about motion, and creating our own scientific picture of an object in motion.
