Description of columnsSpecific modifications for teaching lessons when materials cannot be shared.

In-Person Learning Recommendations
Recommendations for teachers providing instruction using video instruction. The sections are divided up into Introduction, activity, and discussion (sense-making). This provides some flexibility for blended learning opportunities.

Synchronous Learning Recommendations
Materials teacher need to get from kits/home for remote learning.
Optional materials for students to use for remote learning. These should be considered consumable.

Please check with district guidelines regarding allergies and sending home materials.
Recommended resources. While the content of these resources is similar to those provided in the Investigations Guide, the experiences differ. Note: The resources below are recommended for use during this modified instructional time. Many of these are available now by logging into Resources by Investigations on FOSSweb.

Investigation 2Part 1: Wheel-and-Axle Systems Step 3. Each students has their own ramp and materials
4. New distribution system
13. Sense-making in a big circle, indoors or outdoors or sitting at desks
16. New clean up systems
Have several systems already ready prepped and ready to go.

Introduction
Steps 1-2
Let them know you will use the plastic disks like wheels. Show them the ramp you are making

Activity
Steps 5.-12
Rolls initial wheels down the ramp. Throughout this section your will be exploring and discussing results with students and posing questions to students.
10. Have students make suggestions of designs and teacher builds and explores discussing cause and effect with each design.
11. Build each design and have students describe.
12. Have students suggest other designs that you build and test. Have students describe additional changes and make predictions.

Discussion
Steps 13-15
13. Have students describe changes you made.
15. Have students record a system in their notebooks and draw the pattern of motion.

Part 2: Predicting Motion of New Systems
Step 3. Each students has their own ramp and materials and distribution system
7. Teacher distributes tape
8. Show and tell from students desks
Have several cups already ready prepared with and without weight.

Introduction
Steps 1-2

Activity
Steps 4-8
Plan on pausing now and then so students can record observations.
3. Explore rolling cups.
5. Tell students you are going to try this change.
6. Ask students for ideas on how to roll cups in a straight line.
7. Tell them now you are adding tape.
8. Maybe a student has suggested weight already, if not ask what they think and tell them you will use pennies for weight and continue to have them draw systems and describe so that teacher can try their designs.

Discussion
Steps 9,11-12,14-16
9,11. Have students share their observations and describe their systems they drew in their notebook.

Part 3: Twirly Birds
Step 3. Each students has their own ramp and materials and new distribution system
7. Teacher distributes tape
14. Share outcomes from their own spot with a partner or spread out outdoors or share whole group and teacher records
15. Sense-making in a big circle, indoors or outdoors or sitting at desks
23. Share methods from their own desks with a partner or spread out outdoors
Have several twirly birds already ready to fly when the time comes.

Introduction
Steps 1-4
Tell students that that you will be investigating a new system.
3. If students have the materials at home you can walk them through this part.

Activity

Steps 6-12
If students to not have materials: Students can share design ideas, teacher constructs students suggestions and students make predictions and records.
Test and discuss vairables make one change and test and fly again. Students record oucomes. discuss outcomes , have students make predictions before testing again.
If students do that the materials: have them construct, test and fly and then record results. Pause and listen to a few students outcomes before going one to investigating variables.

Discussion
Steps 15-16
Pose some questions and have students respond. Ask if anyone can build on one students idea or paraphrase.

Activity and Discussion

18-22 Continue investigating and discussing but outdoors. You can have students do this on their own, record in their notebook and report back next class.
