California 2nd Grade State Standards Covered:

1. The motion of objects can be observed and measured. As a basis for understanding this concept:

a. Students know the position of an object can be described by locating it in relation to another object or to the background.

b. Students know an object's motion can be described by recording the change in position of the object over time.

c. Students know the way to change how something is moving is by giving it a push or a pull. The size of the change is related to the strength, or the amount of force, of the push or pull.

d. Students know tools and machines are used to apply pushes and pulls (forces) to make things move.

Helpful Hints To Do This Web Quest:

1. Have students work in groups of 3 or 4
2. It is easier if you have access to a computer lab or laptops so multiple groups can work at once.  Teacher then can float from group to group answering questions as they arise.
3. Work with one person from each group to teach them PowerPoint.  Let them be the “Expert” to teach their group.  They will do the formatting while the other students can do the typing of the information.
