Evaluate
- Given two balls (one tennis ball and one Nerf football) illustrate the motion of each (i.e., bounce the tennis ball on the floor and throw the football to a classmate) (P.FM.00.33, P.FM.00.32, P.FM.00.31, S.IP.00.13).
- Using a group of objects (paper, feather, penny, ball), drop each and describe observations (P.FM.00.21).
- Given a group of objects of different size, weight, and shape (e.g., cone, sphere, cylinder, square) push each object and measure the distance traveled; discuss as a large group observations and measurements (P.FM.00.34, S.IP.00.15, S.IP.00.13).
- Given a sample of photographs, select which picture shows one object above another; which pictures shows one object in front of another; which pictures shows one object underneath another; which picture shows one object to the right of another; and which pictures shows one object next to another (P.FM.00.11).
- Using a fish bowl (with two or three fish) or a classroom aquarium, work in pairs to describe the movement of one particular fish. Conversation between the pairs should include away from, closer to, above, next to, below, to the right of, to the left of, and so on (P.FM.00.11, P.FM.00.12, S.IA.00.12).
