Science - 3rd Grade 

 TRB 3:3 - Investigation 5 - Balloon

 Back Rockets 
Students will make a balloon rocket and
Lesson Plans learn about the relationship between the
force applied to an object and the
Standard 3 resulting motion.

Students will understand the relationship

between the force applied to an object and
resulting motion of the object.

Objective 2
Demonstrate that the greater the force applied
to an object, the greater the change in speed or
direction of the object.

 Flicking With Force 

Balls of varying weights are used to
discover the results of force applied to an
object.
 Hammer Time! 
Students will predict, observe, and
compare what happens when a force is
applied to an object.
 May the Best Force Win 
Sports activity stations will help the
student observe and understand that the
greater the force applied to an object, the
greater the change in speed or direction of
the object.
 May the Force Be With You 
This hands-on activity will help students
understand that greater the mass of an
object, the greater the force needed to
change its motion.
 Rock-A-Bye Pendulum 
Students will use the scientific process to
explore the effects of force on an object in
motion.
 Rolling Along 
Classroom and homework activities
illustrate how wheels and axles help with
force and motion.
 Super Paper Planes 
This activity, done in pairs, helps students
understand force, mass and
measurement.
 TRB 3:3 - Investigation 4 - Collision
Zone 
Students will learn how forces of push and
pull can change speed or direction.
