Essential Question(s):

How can one explain and predict interactions between objects and within systems of objects?

Standard(s):

• HS-PS2-1 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.

"I can" Statements:

• Calculate the speed of an object.

• Calculate the velocity of an object.

• Differentiate between scalar and vector quantities and units.

Reinforcement Activity:

• Multiple experimental design activities

Topic/Skill(s):

• Graphing objects with a constant velocity, answering basic mathematical questions on one dimensional motion.

• Graphing objects with motion and answering mathematical questions relating to objects with linear (1D) motion.
