In order to answer the question, "What makes things move"you are going to explore what happens in seven different situations. Each group will be assigned to do two of the explorations, and then the groups will report what they have observed to the class in an Investigation Expo. In each situation, a different force will be applied to a heavy object. For each situation, you will predict if the probes will measure the same or different amounts of force. You will first record your prediction of what you think will happen.A prediction is an educated guess based on what you know. You should not only record what you think will happen, but you should also record your reason for why you think it will happen. Next, you will observe what actually happens. You will draw a diagram of your observations.Finally, you will compare what you observed with what you predicted. When everyone has finished, you will share your observations with your class. Your class will work together to develop a statement describing the relationship between forces and motion.  http://its-about-time.com/htmls/pbis/move/mbt_te_ls1_1_3.pdf http://its-about-time.com/htmls/pbis/move/mbt_te_ls1_1_4.pdf   https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/experiential-learning-with-science
