In order to meet this standard, it is expected that students will

• define kinetic energy (5.3 a)

• describe the motion of an object using both direction and speed (5.3 b)

• plan an experiment to collect time and position data for a moving object in a table and line graph and interpret the data to determine if the speed of the object was increasing, decreasing, or remaining the same (5.3 b)

• plan and conduct an investigation related to net force and the movement of an object (5.3 c, e)

• plan and conduct an investigation to test the question, “What is the relationship between motion and mass?” (5.3 c, e)

• ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in motion that occur when objects collide (5.3 d)

• interpret data in graphs, charts, and/or diagrams related to force and the motion of objects (5.3 c, d)

• plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of friction on moving objects (5.3 e).

Located above are the notes for this unit. Each notes are labeled, to access you can open the slides in a new tab or if available you can click through the slides in the bottom left corner. If this feature is not available - then the notes must be opened in a new tab.

To practice this skill, we wanted to provide scholars with several websites that include different games that focus on this particular skill. Most websites should not require sign-ups. If a sign-up is requires, you can choose to sign your scholar up or move on to the next available site.
