Procedures&
,. "he students will re$iew directional terms and motion from the pre$ious lesson. "he teacher will ha$e the students show with their hands the appropriate direction that the teacher indicates. "his will last for about 3-3 minutes. 3. &ositional terms will be briefl# re$iewed as a class as well. 3. "he teacher will pro$ide a notes outline for the students to complete as the terms are discussed. "his will be displa#ed on the Smart 0oard for all students to see the proper spellings of the terms taught. 4. "he teacher will describe an object at rest and ha$e the students show their understanding of what it means to be 5at rest6. . "he teacher will incorporate pushing and pulling of the 3 cart examples to show the students how the mass and the strength of a push/pull can affect the distance it tra$els. 7 student will assist during this demonstration. 8. "he teacher will call on different students to read the notes outline to answer them as the# are co$ered. 9. :nce the notes are completed* the teacher will call on 4 $olunteers to come to the carpet to hold a picture %dog* elephant* mouse* person'. "he idea of this is to show students which would re;uire the least amount of force to mo$e. "he students will put themsel$es in order b# re;uired force %least to greatest'. <.
