How to differentiate

Describe motion
Lesson Objective:
What is motion?
I will have the students close their eyes and imagine a world without moving things. I will have them
open their eyes. I will ask them what it would look like. Would it be possible? I will describe how
everything in the room, the planet, the galaxy is in motion.
Group Instruction - On the Smart Board, I will have three columns. The first column will be What we
already know about motion. The second column will be, What we wonder about motion. The third
column will be, How we can find out about motion.
We will brainstorm as a class, and I will call on students to write their answers on the board.
I will show a slide show discussing Newtons Laws of motion. After the video, we will briefly discuss
the three laws of motion and write them up on the Smart Board.
The students will be split up into different groups to put together a forces and motion book and read it
in their group. The book will consist of the students definition of motion and force, what happens
when force is applied to an object and how is motion described.
In the groups, the students will highlight academic vocabulary words in green, and unknown words in
orange. This will be the basis for the students word bank for this unit

After the groups meet, we will come back together as a class and publish our data on the Smart Board.
Summative Assessment (how will you know if students hit the objective at the level of the standard?):
Students will be given a worksheet (attached). This worksheet is a multiple-choice activity designed to
evaluate the students knowledge of Newtons Laws of motion.
Cognitive Rigor Matrix Level:
Based on the cognitive rigor matrix this lesson falls within DOK level 1. Students are asked to recall and
reproduce definitions and give basic concept facts.
Universal Design for Learning Guidelines:
This lesson includes UDL Principles 3.1 activate or supply background knowledge because we start our class
by recalling what we know about motion. UDL Principle 8.3 (foster collaboration and community) is also
utilized in the form of group work
Text Complexity:
The layout of the text used is very simple. This lesson is the beginning of a new unit and it is intended not to
overwhelm students with high-level concepts. With that being said, there is a complex element to this text
because of the use of academic vocabulary.

When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts
a force equal in size and opposite in direction on the frst object.
