Learning About Forces & Motion | Teaching Tips
Explore this lesson unit that allows students to investigate the effects of “push and pull” forces through informational texts, hands-on investigations, and media (digital games and videos) from the PBS KIDS show Ready Jet Go! In this unit, students learn that a force can cause an object to move and that the strength of the force affects the object’s speed and direction. Students also learn about the engineering design process and how it is used to solve everyday problems.
