Learning Targets:

• I can explain the relationship between force and motion.

• I can represent forces using free body diagrams.

• I can represent and interpret motion using motion graphs.

Standards:

SPS8: Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the relationships among force, mass, and motion.

a. Plan and carry out an investigation to analyze the motion of an object using mathematical and graphical models. (Mathematical and graphical models could include distance, displacement, speed, velocity, time, and acceleration.)

b. Construct an explanation based on experimental evidence to support the claims presented in Newton’s three laws of motion.
