Lesson Summary: In this lesson, students explored the concepts of motion through hands-on investigation using playground equipment. Students began by discussing the forces of push and pull and how these forces create motion. They then moved to the playground to actively observe and experience motion firsthand, using equipment like swings, slides, and seesaws to identify examples of pushes and pulls in action. As they engaged with the equipment, students recorded observations and examples of how different forces affected motion, such as how a stronger push made a swing go higher or how pulling on a seesaw could balance its movement. After returning to the classroom, students reflected on their experiences in their STEM journals, documenting their findings and explaining the relationship between force and motion. This activity fostered a deep understanding of motion by connecting scientific principles to students’ physical experiences, encouraging critical thinking and meaningful application of their knowledge.
