Students learn why and how motion occurs and what governs changes in motion, as described by Newton's three laws of motion. They gain hands-on experience with the concepts of forces, changes in motion, and action and reaction. In an associated literacy activity, students design a behavioral survey and learn basic protocol for primary research, survey design and report writing.

Introducing the motion and relative position unit with this engaging and interactive lesson allows students to demonstrate their understanding of relative position. Being a new teacher to the Sun West School Division, I wanted to submit an artifact that included most of the 21st century competencies focused on within the division thus far. Within this introduction lesson, students will use their creativity and collaboration skills to create a collage that demonstrates their understanding of relative position. Since students are using technology to complete the learning activity, they are also practicing their digital citizenship skills. The digital citizenship elements that are addressed within this lesson are: digital access (element of respect) and digital rights and responsibilities (element of protect). Students are demonstrating an understanding that using technology is a right, not a privilege and that they must work together on the IPads to complete a task. Students will also demonstrate an understanding that the IPads are being used as a learning tool, so they must only use them as instructed.

Mechanical energy is the most easily understood form of energy for students. When there is mechanical energy involved, something moves. Mechanical energy is a very important concept to understand. Engineers need to know what happens when something heavy falls from a long distance changing its potential energy into kinetic energy. Automotive engineers need to know what happens when cars crash into each other, and why they can do so much damage, even at low speeds! Our knowledge of mechanical energy is used to help design things like bridges, engines, cars, tools, parachutes, and even buildings! In this lesson, students will learn how the conservation of energy applies to impact situations such as a car crash or a falling object.

This is another favourite student assignment. They get to pretend they are making a movie about the play or novel, and cast actors they feel suit the different roles. The assignment includes a plot summary, casting choices, artwork, and biographical information. The assignment below was given to Grade 4 and 6 Classes, and I have used it with Grade 7 and 8 as well.

In this activity, students learn about the changing configuration of the continents over geological time resulting from plate tectonics. Using a map pair, students measure the difference in distance between continents 94 million years ago and today, and calculate the speed at which the plates have moved. The resource includes the images and a student worksheet. This is an activity from Space Update, a collection of resources and activities provided to teach about Earth and space. Summary background information, data and images supporting the activity are available on the Earth Update data site.
