Forces and Motion: Grade 3 Written Assessment
The Big Science Ideas covered in this unit include topics of force, movement, weight, and friction. At the beginning of the unit, the class will learn about motion as it is caused by a force, also known as a push or a pull. With this information, the unit will factor in different variables that have the potential to affect the way in which an object moves. In the following lessons, students will recognize that weight and friction have the potential to alter motion. For instance, the heavier an o
