• Essential Question
• Explore/Engage
• Explain
• Elaborate (Inquiry)
• Evaluate
Essential question: How does gravity affect motion and how do you
measure it on the lab quest?
Explore/Engage: Students will experiment with dropping a book from
different distances in from of the motion sensor. They will follow the
directions in the lab book to learn how to use the sensor properly.
Explain: After data collection and experimentation the class will
discuss their finding.
Elaborate: The class will discuss ways to ensure they had proper data
collection so that the next lesson on force and motion will be conducted
properly.
Evaluate: The teacher will collect and review their data and evaluate
student participation in the lesson.
Accommodations for
Differentiated Instruction
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.
Cross Curricular
Integration
Students will discuss their motion data that was collected on the vernier
lab quests.
