Forces and Motion
The driving questions for our Gravity and Kinetic Energy study are:
How does gravity cause objects to move?
What happens to an object's energy when it moves faster?
What happens when moving objects collide?
How can humans protect themselves in collisions?
Chemical Interactions
Chemical Interactions
The driving question for our Chemical Interactions study is how does matter interact? We will learn about substances, elements and particles. We will also explore phase change and energy transfer.
