Force and Motion Strands: currently in grades 29

1
Force and Motion Strandscurrently in grades 2-9

• Grade 2 Accounting for why objects move and
  balance
• Balance and Weighing (forces that affect balance,
  present data, predict serial order of weights,
  communicate ideas, observations, demonstrate how
  pushes and pulls change position or direction,
  recognize different kinds of motion, and
  invisible forces (such as magnetism))

2
Grade 5 Explaining how forces produce changes in
the motion and speed of objects

• Motion and Design
• (Defining speed and measuring distance and time
  to get speed organize data and graph it explain
  how forces change speed and/or direction how is
  speed influenced by mass, material, and design
  explain how surface affects speed develop
  vocabulary to describe relationship between
  speed, distance and time.)

3
Grade 6 Understanding forces that cause motion

• Conduct investigations to demonstrate that forces
  cause change in motion or direction
• Calculate average speed when various forces are
  applied to objects
• Predict and observe effects of friction on motion
• Organize and graph data

4
Where Were Going in High School..

• Forces and motion
• study car accidents
• seatbelts, airbags
• stopping distances
• skidding
• understand and describe motion graphically, using
  data

5
High School - Ninth Grade

• Introduce kinetic and potential energy
