Physics in Motion outlines a journey that will steer your students toward authentic problem solving while grounding them in integrated STEM disciplines. Like the other volumes in the series, this book is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K–12 classrooms.
This interdisciplinary module uses project- and problem-based learning to help young children explore cause and effect. It prompts students to create marble track roller coasters as they make discoveries about energy, gravity, friction, and speed. Students will draw on physical science, mathematics, engineering, and English language arts to do the following:
• Demonstrate awareness of motion- and energy-related concepts through play.
• Use technology to research and communicate information.
• Measure, compare, and test numbers related to their project.
• Discuss, investigate, and create a marble track roller coaster.
• Identify careers associated with roller coaster design and construction
• Describe and apply the engineering design process.
