over 8 WeeksUnit 1: Forces & Motion
Lesson 1:
Q3 Meeting 1: What are Forces?
We'll explore the concept of forces. We'll learn that forces are pushes or pulls that can make objects move, stop, or change direction. Through interactive demonstrations and activities, we'll uncover different types of forces, like gravitational, magnetic, and frictional forces. Lesson 2:
Q3 Meeting 2: How Do Forces Affect Motion?
In Meeting 2, we'll delve into how forces influence motion. We'll explore Newton's laws of motion and discover how forces can cause objects to speed up, slow down, or change direction. We will get to observe firsthand the relationship between forces and motion. Get ready to unravel the secrets of how forces shape the world around us! Lesson 3:
Q3 Meeting 3: Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
We'll explore the concepts of balanced and unbalanced forces. We'll learn how balanced forces keep objects at rest, while unbalanced forces cause changes in motion. Through interactive activities and real-world examples, we'll grasp the impact of unbalanced forces on objects. Get ready to discover the dynamic interplay of forces in our everyday lives! Lesson 4:
Q3 Meeting 4: Forces Lab Activity
We'll conduct hands-on experiments to investigate the effects of different forces on objects. From testing gravitational pulls to exploring the impact of friction and air resistance, we'll uncover the science behind forces in action. Get ready for an exciting lab session full of discoveries about about forces! Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I am a certified teacher and I've been teaching middle school comprehensive science since 2014 and I taught 5th-grade science many years prior to moving to middle school. I currently help design activities that support the 7th & 8th-grade curriculum for all of the science teachers and serve as a math and science instructional coach to K-5 elementary teachers. I will be incorporating reading and writing in this science course as well. I have a master's degree in reading and writing, and I am a firm believer in reading and writing in the content area.
