K-3 Physical Science I Video

The Physical Science I video for grades K-3 is a program for elementary teachers that covers matter and mechanics. The video includes a printed outline that includes lesson plans, observational activities and experiments.

Section 1 - Matter (34 min)

• Physical properties
• The 5 senses
• Making approximations
• Safety
• Dissolving rates
• Particle model
• Identifying unknowns

• Using the balance and a graduated cylinder

Section 2 - Mechanics (30 min)

• Classifying by position and motion
• Reading coordinates
• Investigating motion and energy
• Friction
• Simple machines - levers (types), applications, inclined plane, wedge, wheel and axel, pulleys and gears.
