Calculate unbalanced forces
UNIT - Physics: Newton’s Laws
8.6C Investigate and describe applications of Newton's three laws of motion such as in vehicle restraints, sports activities, amusement park rides, Earth's tectonic activities, and rocket launches.
Investigate Newton’s Three Laws of Motion

The missed TEKS will not be addressed in Biology.
Physics
Therefore, in two to three years, Physics instructors should be aware that students have had basic experience with forces from Grade 6. However, basic foundational and introductory teaching will be needed when students reach Physics in their Junior year. (2022-2023)
