Human Body Kit Information and Lesson Plans:
Lesson 1: “Types Of Forces” Download
Outcomes: Students will be expected to observe, investigate, and describe how forces can act directly (contact) or from a distance (non-contact) to move or hold objects in place. (303-12, 303-13).
Lesson 2: “The Effect Of Forces” Download
Outcomes: Students will be expected to demonstrate and describe the effect of increasing and decreasing the amount of force applied to an object (303-14).
Lesson 3: “Friction” Download
Outcomes: Students will be expected to investigate and compare the effect of friction on the movement of an object over a variety of surfaces (204-1, 204-5, 303-15).
Lesson 4: “Wheel and Axel” Download
Outcomes: Students will be expected to demonstrate the use of rollers, wheels and axles in moving objects (303-16).
Lesson 5: “The Inclined Plane” Download
Outcomes: Students will be expected to use simple machines to identify the effort and load required to move objects (205-2, 206-9, 303-17).
Lesson 6: “Levers” Download
Outcomes: Students will be expected to design a lever for a particular task and differentiate between the positions of the fulcrum, the load, and the effort (303-18, 303-19).
Lesson 7: “Pulleys” Download
Outcomes: Students will be expected to Compare and record the force needed to lift and load an object by using a single pulley system with that needed to lift it by using a multiple pulley system and predict the effect of adding another pulley or load-lifting capacity (303-20, 204-3).
Lesson 8: “Machines In The Real World” Download
Outcomes: Students will be expected to describe examples of how simple machines have improved living conditions and identify machines that have been used in the past and that have developed over time (105-5, 107-8, 205-8)
Lesson 9: “Simple Machines and Forces" Download
Outcomes: Students will be expected to use simple machines to identify the effort and load required to move objects (205-2, 206-9, 303-17).
Lesson 10: “Standard and Non-standard Units" Download
Outcomes: Students will be expected to perform experiments to describe the force needed to lift or pull a given load in standard and non-standard units (205-4, 205-5, 205-6).
