Summary

The “Power of Play” zine helps students explore the following questions:

  • What is stress and how do we manage stress? 
  • How can play help with stress? 
  • How do stress toys use forces and motion? 
  • What is balanced and unbalanced forces? 
  • How do roller coasters use force and motion? 
  • How do magnets and electromagnets work? 
  • Who is helping with stress and how can we help?

This zine is used in the Power of Play full project.

Overview

Life Habit Focus: Impact Awareness

Subject: Physical Science, ELA

Grade: 3-5

Aligned Standards

Common Core Reading (CCSS):

  • Informational/Nonfiction Standards R.I. 1-10 for grades 3-5

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):

 

Performance Expectations (PE): (Text supports students to reach PE)

  • 3-PS2-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
  • 3-PS2-2. Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
  • 3-PS2-3. Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.
  • 3-PS2-4. Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets.

Science and Engineering Practices (SEP): (Text supports students to reach SEP)

  • Planning and carrying out investigations..
  • Make observations and/or measurements to produce data.
  • Asking Questions and Defining Problems

Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI):

  • PS2.A: Each force acts on one particular object and has both strength and a direction. An object at rest typically has multiple forces acting on it, but they add to give zero net force on the object. Forces that do not sum to zero can cause changes in the object’s speed or direction of motion.
  • PS2.B: Objects in contact exert forces on each other.
