Lesson Summary: In this lesson, students explored how people and objects move by investigating different types of motion, such as forward, backward, wavy, zigzag, and circular, applying their learning in real-world and meaningful contexts. The lesson began with a discussion about various ways things can move, using relatable examples like walking, cars driving, or the path of a spinning top. Students then participated in hands-on activities where they observed and replicated these movements. For instance, they walked or ran in different patterns on the playground and experimented with rolling balls, spinning hoops, and creating paths for toy cars. After each activity, students identified and described the type of motion observed. They recorded their findings through labeled diagrams and written reflections in their STEM journals, explaining the characteristics of each motion type and how it applies to real-world scenarios, like navigating a winding road or watching a fan blade rotate. This lesson deepened students’ understanding of motion through active participation and critical thinking, bridging scientific concepts with practical applications.
