      To differentiate pair students with different ability levels. If ELL students struggle, provide pictures of what activities you hope to have them accomplish

    Good web-site that can give you an entire unit on Gravity. Allows students to discuss energy and what causes things to go through motion with different weight and mass.

      Have students work in pairs or small groups to experiment what happens to the ball if you spin it faster or slower, make bigger circles, or what else they can spin in the jar. Have them make predictions, then record their findings.

      Extensions: Science connects with a historical figure: Isaac Newton.  Teacher can give background on him prior to experiment or allow students time to research via book or internet this important historical figure. Adaptations Gifted students can choose one of Newton's laws and give a presentation on it after researching the topic.  ESL & Special Ed students can illustrate one of Newton's Laws on poster board or foam core.

    The Lincoln High Dive: 5th Grade Science Experiment Newton's first law states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.  This experiment also illustrates gravity. Supplies: A Lincoln penny (or other small coin), a piece of card stoic or stiff paper, a film canister, baby food jar, or other similar size container with a mouth slightly larger than a penny, a pencil or pen, and scissors.

    4.4.1:  Investigate transportation systems and devices that operate on or in land, water, air, and space and recognize the forces (lift, drag, thrust, and gravity) that affect their motion.  Students will study the monorail to determine how it operates, what generates the power, and what are the effects to our environment.

      Not much differentiation needed, possibly change what certain students have to record. Add lesson writing for some who struggle and more pictures of what they are viewing.

    Easy project to conduct with your fifth graders that works with multiple standards. Students begin to gain knowledge of mass and weight and how gravity acts on the objects.

      Sticky Note: This could also be added to a science lesson where students have been creating vehicles and also have a class vehicle and class ramp that students could test. That way they could compare their own vehicles with the class vehicle and same with the class ramp (kind of like a control subjects). It could also be added to math lessons because of the measuring involved in each part of the activity.

      Students who are more advanced can find the density of the liquids and then explain why some liguids are "heavier" than others. This activity could also be used for higher grades that deal with finding densities of different substances. This activity can be connected to math by measuring the volumes of the liquids.

      It's fun to add the liquids out of order from densest to least dense and observe as they still seek their layer. I've done this with Karo syrup that I've added blue food coloring to, red water, and oil, but we add the water first, then the Karo syrup, and then the oil and the liquid seeks its layer. We extend this further by stirring the liquids too. Some of the layers separate out, but others remain mixed. It's a cool activity!

      5.1.2 "Describe the difference between weight and mass. Understand that weight is dependent on gravity and mass is the amount of matter in a given substance or material."

      Extension: After completing the experiment with oil and water, students could experiment with other liquids and make a hypothesis whether or not the density of the two liquids will be the same or different.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 12 Feb 12
     
    In this activity students compare the mass and volume of different liguids by pouring the liquids into the same container and seeing which ones are "heavier" and "lighter."
  • Mary Jo Mack on 15 Feb 12
     
    Density - or mass per volume - of a liquid is an important scientific concept that can be viewed with the naked eye. We see it all the time with oil and water. Oil has a different density than water so the two liquids do not mix. In this experiment your child will look at a number of liquids with different densities and compare them all to water. She'll build her science skills and learn one of the most fundamental scientific concepts she'll use for years to come.
