Description

Virtual Field Trip to a Dog Sled Race

⭐️Let’s all take a field trip! In this Virtual Field Trip, students learn about force and motion through dog sledding. This virtual field trip contains embedded videos, images, reading passages, maps, and more. Students read about dog sledding and learn about the dogs, people, places, and history of dog sledding.

 

⭐️This resource integrates a variety of skills. Integrates force and motion concepts. Students also complete reading and writing assignments along with watching videos and completing thought-provoking exercises. Incorporates key reading comprehension, writing, multimedia, science, and other skills.

 

This resource aligns with the following NGSS Standards:

PS2.A: Forces and Motion

• Each force acts on one particular object and has both strength and 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. (Boundary: Qualitative and conceptual, but not quantitative addition of forces are used at this level.) (3-PS2-1)
• The patterns of an object’s motion in various situations can be observed and measured; when that past motion exhibits a regular pattern, future motion can be predicted from it. (Boundary: Technical terms, such as magnitude, velocity, momentum, and vector quantity, are not introduced at this level, but the concept that some quantities need both size and direction to be described is developed.) (3-PS2-2)
