SC.2.N.1.1
Raise questions about the natural world, investigate them in teams through free exploration and
systematic observations, and generate appropriate explanations based on those explorations.
SC.2.N.1.3
Ask "how do you know?" in appropriate situations and attempt reasonable answers when asked the
same question by others.
SC.2.N.1.5
Distinguish between empirical observation (what you see, hear, feel, smell, or taste) and ideas or
inferences (what you think).
Math Standards:
MAFS.2.MD.1.1
Measure the length of an object to the nearest inch, foot, centimeter, or meter by selecting and using

Is your assessment formative or summative? Why did you make that assessment decision?
I have both a formative and summative assessment. I made this decision because it aligns with
the objectives and student learning that is occurring in the lesson.
My formative and summative assessment align with my objectives because it analyzes whether or
not my students investigated if a force will effect an object and can explain their reasoning.

Understanding the standards Trace the standard to the previous grade level. What have students already learned or been exposed to
over time related to this standard?
SC.1.P.13.1
Demonstrate that the way to change the motion of an object is by applying a push or a pull.
Students should have been exposed to the word and definition of force and the effects it causes to
objects.
Trace the standard to the next grade level. What will students learn next related to this standard?
SC.3.P.10.2
Recognize that energy has the ability to cause motion or create change.
Students will learn how energy can effect an object’s motion or change its position.

I will be differentiating this lesson for the interests of my students. My students love science and this
lesson is very simple, yet it involves things they have seen before in and outside of school. It also uses a
paper ball which some of my students love to make to shoot hoops in the trash can and they can do it
after the lesson.
My more emergent-level science students will love this because it is not highly extensive when it comes
to work but it is filled with rich content. It will also keep my ADHD and ADD students focused and
engaged to move from each part of the activity.

I have two ELL students in my class and these are the accommodations I implement. Encourage all
students to raise their hand if they have a question or need assistance.
What accommodations will you make for students who have an IEP or 504 plan?
One student in the class has low vision so I increased the font size of the data collection sheet so it can be
more accessible for him to use.
Another student has a learning disability and the accommodation I would provide for this student is
modifying the group he is in so it will support his learning of the content.
What accommodations will you make for students identified as gifted and have an EP (education
plan)?
I don’t have any classified gifted students in my class but for high-level students I would provide them
with questions about how energy can cause an object to move. This would be third-grade level
standards.
Meeting your students’ needs as If applicable, how does this lesson connect to the interests and cultural backgrounds of your
people and as learners students?
This will connect to the interests of my students because we will have discussions about where they see
other forces taking place in school, at home, and the community.
If applicable, how does this lesson connect to/reflect the local community?
Students can view other forces taking place in the community and if they are beneficial or negative forces
in the community/environment.
