Utah State Intended Learning Outcomes:
-
- Use Basic Science Process Skills
- Make observations and measurements (uses instruments as
appropriate).
- Make estimations and predictions based on observations
and current knowledge.
- Use Integrated Science Process Skills
- Identify variables and describe relationships between them.
- Formulate research questions and hypotheses.
- Collect and record data using procedures designed to
minimize error.

- Understand Science Concepts, Principles, and Systems
- Know science terminology appropriate to grade level.
- Know basic science facts appropriate to grade level.
- Activity One:
-
This lesson reviews the basic "feel" we all have for what speed is and
introduces the means for calculation and composition of various average
speeds. Students calculate average speed of various snowmobiles and
predict the outcome of a race.
- Activity Two:
-
This lesson will explore how the force of gravity, acts upon a luge and
rider. It teaches how gravity has an influence on speed and time of the
luge run. Students will select various values for gravity and collect
times for luge runs.
