Unit 6- Motion and Force

After studying motion, acceleration and velocity, we will now look at the forces that affect motion. We will be studying the effects of friction on the motion of an object, the acceleration due to the force of gravity, opposing forces, balanced forces, and the equation for finding force F = ma. Students will be completing many labs in class that examine the effects of force and friction on the motion of an object. We will look to apply this information to real world situations in the life of a ninth grade student.
