Assignment # 4 Lesson Plan
 * Duration **: 1hr

**Material** : 10 North and South pole magnets, 2 small blocks of wood, 2 balloons, 3 pennies, a plastic cup, 2 spoons, 8 small weights, a piece of plastic, a feather,a tub of water,5 eggs, 5 water baloons,arrange desk into three groups (they will become stations), snake eggs, bouncy balls, paper, pencils.

**Standard:** Science- Grade 2 4.) Describe observable effects of forces, including buoyancy, gravity, and magnetism.

**Objective:** The student will be able to explain and demonstrate the effects of forces to their peers,and Guardians with 100% accuracy.

**Introduction:** 1.) What is this guy doing? Is he going up or down? whats causing him to go down? Would you ever sky dive? [] 2.) What is this? Has anyone ever been on a pirate boat? Make a pirate noise... What makes the boat float? []
 * Show the following pictures and ask the questions out loud. Make sure that while you are talking about the pictures you are explaining **
 * buoyancy, gravity, and magnetism.**
 * Record the student responces on the board with the help of three students (one for each picture) **

How can this be...Is it magic? Why is making the globe float? []

**Activities/ Procedures:** 1.) ﻿Divide the class into three different groups 2.) Each group will sit at a station (a group of desk) 3.) Each station last 10 Minutes then groups will switch stations

__#1 Station..... Gravity__ 1.) Each student will take a piece of paper and set up a chart similar to this * The water Balloon and egg will be demonstarted by the instructor the last 10 minutes.  2.)﻿ The students will make their prediction 3.) They will then test and re- test each object and fill in the conclusion column. 4.) When they are finished they are to clean up and sit quietly * If they get done earlie then they may count how many times a bouncy ball bounces, or how many seconds it takes a feather to fall
 * Object: || Predict: Float or Fall || Conclusion: What Happened ||
 * * Egg. ||  ||   ||
 * * Water Balloon ||  ||   ||
 * Bouncy Ball ||  ||   ||
 * Feather ||  ||   ||
 * Oxygen filled Balloon ||  ||   ||

__ #2 Station.....Buoyancy __ * The tub of water is at this station and the small weights 1.) Each student will take a piece of paper and set up a chart similar to this﻿ 2.) The students will make their prediction 3.) They will then test and re- test each object and fill in the conclusion column 4.) After that is finished have them answer this questiom.. How many weights does it take to sink the piece of plastic? They will record their answers under their chart. 5.) When they are finished they are to clean up and sit quietly
 * Object: || Predict: Float or Sink || Conclusion: What Happened ||
 * Spoon ||  ||   ||
 * Piece of Plastic ||  ||   ||
 * Block of wood ||  ||   ||
 * Plastic Cup ||  ||   ||
 * Oxygen Filled Balloon ||  ||   ||

__#3.) Station.......Magnetism__ 1.) Each student will take a piece of paper and set up a chart similar to this


 * Object: || Predict: Magnetic or not || Conclusion: What Happened ||
 * Wood ||  ||   ||
 * Pennies ||  ||   ||
 * White Board ||  ||   ||
 * Door Handle ||  ||   ||
 * Window ||  ||   ||

2.) The students will make their prediction

3.) They will then test and re- test each object and fill in the conclusion column 4.) If they Finish earlie have them connect all the magnets and make a train, or test other objects found in the classroom.

5.) When they are finished they are to clean up and sit quietly

After each group has been to each station recap with the class gravity, buoyancy, and magnitism. The last activity of the day is to take the class outside and have them watch you drop an egg and water balloon from a non splash distance. 2.) Have the students act out the three forces (carefuly) 3.) Have the students find three objects in their house that show the three forces, and share with the class the following day.
 * Main Activities Assessment: **
 * ** 1.) Have the students describe what gravity, buoyancy, and magnitism is by using examples from their chart of objects that fell, sunk, or stuck to each other.
