Item Description:

Science Court: Gravity is part of the Science Court Series published by Tom Snyder/ Scholastic. Science Court Gravity is a Fun way for students in grades 4 through 6 to learn about Gravity.

In Science Court Gravity: Ms. Clara Swindell accuses Sam Bookman of sabotaging her antigravity formula. But is it scientifically reasonable to believe that such a potion existed in the first place?

Over the course of the trial, students will learn:

Why some objects have more gravity than others

Why an object's weight on Earth is more than its weight on the moon

Why even though an object's weight changes with gravity, its mass remains the same

How to set up experiments to: Use a scale to measure gravity's effect on weight, Calculate and compare weight on each planet, Measure the mass of an object using a balance and Explore the relationship between mass, gravity, and weight

How to work as a team by: becoming members of an interdependent group, listening and talking with others and sharing a common goal

Students are also introduced to the following content vocabulary, visually defined in the Word Wall:

Attract

Balance

Force

Formula

Gram

Gravitational factor

Gravity

Mass

Newton

Object

Scale

Weight

Weightless

The Science Court Series Builds a lasting understanding through guided discussion and fun, hands-on learning. Science Court Series offers a research-based way to introduce core science topics and model scientific processes in the classroom for grades 4 to 6

Science Court directly challenges common misconceptions in earth, life, and physical science topics. Students critically examine the facts, articulate their understanding in multiple ways, and perform hands-on experiments to predict the trial decisions and final verdict. This engaging, research-proven approach will help your students build lasting understanding in science while fully engaging them with the humor of Science Court

STATE AND NATIONAL STANDARDS
