Lesson TwoFriction Station One

Pan one and Pan two are numbered one and two. In pan one, place a marble inside. Spin the marble around the pan. Journal Question : Now that you have answered the question place the sand paper in the pan. Now

place the marble in the pan. Spin the marble around the pan. Journal Question: Take the sand paper out of the pan and place the cloth in the pan. How fast does the marble spin?

Journal Question

Lesson TwoFriction Station Two

Feel the palm of your hands. Journal Question: Rub your hands together fast and feel the heat in your hands now. Journal Question: Now place the soap in your hands. Rub your hands together fast and feel how

slippery they are.Journal Question:Lesson TwoFriction Station Three

Lesson Five Gravity StationsExperiment One:Materials:

- One large orange- One small orange- One serving tray- Science journals

Directions:

1) Begin the experiment by predicting what will happen if you place a large orange on one side of the tray and a small one on the other side of the. Record your predictions in your science journal

2) Get one group member to balance the tray in one hand then place one large orange on one end and a small on the other end.

3) What happened? Were your predictions correct? Record your findings in your science journal.

4) Record in your science journal what this experiment has to do with gravity and why.

Experiment Two:Materials:

- One shoebox- One stone- Science journals

Directions:1) Begin by predicting what will happen if you place the shoebox in the middle of

the table and put the stone inside it.2) Write your predictions in your science journals.3) Place the shoebox in the middle of the table and place the stone inside it.4) Were your predictions correct? Record your observations in your science journal.5) Now predict what will happen if you place the shoebox on the edge of the table

and put the stone inside it.6) Write your predictions in your science journal.7) Place the shoebox on the edge of the table and put the stone inside it. Were

your predictions correct? Record your observations in your science journal?8) Record in your science journal what this experiment has to do with gravity and

why.

Experiment Three:Materials:

- Enough small balloons for each group member- One bendable straw for each group member- Science journals

Directions:1) Each member of the group will have a bendable straw and balloon.2) Begin the experiment by blowing up your balloon.3) Predict what will happen if you hold the balloon at the end of the straw and blow

into it. What will happen to the balloon if you stop blowing through the straw? Record your predictions in your science journals.

4) Now place the balloon at the end of the straw and blow through the straw. Stop

blowing through the straw what happens to the balloon? Were your predictions correct?

5) Record your observations in your science journal.6) Record in your science journal what this experiment has to do with gravity and

why.

Lesson EightLets Talk Screws-Take the screw and try to push the screw into the wood with ones hand.-Remember do not turn the screw just press on it.-Once complete ask the students to now try to turn the screw in with a screwdriver.Journal Questions:-Take a pencil and a piece of string.-Once you have the string ready place the end of the string and a piece of tape at the end of the pencil.-Now wrap the string around the pencil.-Cut the string when you reach the bottom.Unwrap the string and place it beside the pencil.Journal Question:Lesson NineWhat is a WedgeStudents will read the description that is laid out on the table.-Students will roll the clay out so it is lying on the desk.-Once clay is laid out ask students to place both cubes inside.-Place the books on top of the cubes.Journal Questions:Experimenting with PulleysLesson Eleven

1) Measure out a piece of string that is 1m long.2) Measure two pieces of string that are 30 cm long.3) Go to the doorknob that you have been assigned to complete your

experiment with.4) Tie one 30cm string to one single-loop end of one paperclip.5) Tie the other 30cm string to one single-loop end of one paperclip.6) Tie one paper clip to the doorknob so that is hanging down.7) Put the piece of clay that has been provided on the end of the paper clip

that is not attached to the doorknob.8) Next tie the long string to the bottom loop of the paper clip that is

hanging.9) String the remaining end of the string through the other paperclip, and

then back through the centre of the first paperclip.
