How will we talk about movement?
Students will start exploring the ways motion can be observed and measured. Many had requested seeing the "Cloud in the Classroom" lesson from last year. This was a great opportunity to watch movement and begin our vocabulary.
Describing the movement of clouds.
2HY strength of movement, straight, force, friction, motion, position, gravity and wind, diagonal, back and forth, in a circle, speed, up and down, crooked, distance, float, fast, quickly, pulled push throw, curve and turn, gentle,side to side, spinning twirling, twisting.2H motion, forces, position, friction, movement, predict where it will go, centimeter, acceleration, meter, curve, straight, around, turn, come together like a couple of animals, twist, spiral, swirly, flipping, bouncing, circling, curvy.
2B
Shooting, pushing pressure, connection, north, south, east, west, high, low, right, left, spiral, whirlpool, squiggly, zig-zag, yard, stable, balanced.
