__Core Objective/Standard__:
Standard 3 Objective 1.1 and 1.2

__Student learning objective__:
Students will be able to describe, classify, and communicate observations about the motions of objects. Students will be able to compare and contrast the movement of objects using drawings, graphs, and numbers.

__Materials needed__:
Knowledge of where objects that move can be located in or around the school Clip board or white board Camera (optional) Box of items that can be tested with motion (jump ropes, balls, etc.)

__Teacher (To) directions/actions/instructions__:
Teacher should show the students things around the room that move--e.g. the hands of the clock, doors opening, etc. Use specific vocabulary when showing these examples. Fill out the data sheet identifying each of the types of movement as an example.

__Teachers/Students (With) actions__:
Take the students on a tour of the school to observe and record objects in motion. Some options would be to use a camera or a data sheet to find objects in motion. This can be done in small groups with parent volunteers or as a whole class.

__Students (By) actions/activities students will do during lesson__:
Collect items to put in boxes. Divide the class into groups. Each group gets a box to take outside and test the objects for types of movement. Have them observe movements and record observations.

__Assessment-these may be written, verbal, observations, etc__:
After student groups are done testing boxed objects, meet at the rug to share observations and discoveries. The students will turn in their observation sheets as an assessment.
