Elementary Science with Vernier (2008)
Students will use Go! Motion sensors to measure the time it takes for a truck to go down a ramp. Students will predict what will happen when weight is added to the truck and then test their hypothesis.
weight, motion, tilt, rate Key Vocabulary

Essential question: How does mass affect motion?
Explore/Engage: Students will create a hypothesis on if their truck will lose or gain speed based on weight change.
Students will design and create a ramp in which to roll their truck.
Students will conduct 4 different trials using 0, 1,2 and 3 penny rolls.
Students will collect their data for these trials on the labquest using the motion sensors.
Explain: After data collection students will graph their data using the logger lite program. An evaluation of their hypothesis will follow this graphing.
Elaborate: The class will discuss their finding and form a conclusion about the addidion of weight and how if affects motion.
Evaluate: The teacher will collect and review their graphs and evaluate student participation in the lesson.
Visual: The teacher will project the logger lite program to the white board.
Auditory: The motion sensors can emit a beeping sound to alert the student to movement.
Kinestetic: The student can dramatize the motion.
Students will graph their motion data on the computer and compare and contrast the results.
