This quarter's performance expectations:
This quarter's performance expectations:
Lesson 1 - Introduction to Forces
Students identify a force as a push or pull on an object and determine the effect on the motion of an object caused by a set of forces. They also recognize that systems with balanced forces are stable and systems with unbalanced forces are unstable.
Lesson 2 - Gravity and Friction
Students analyze written examples to determine how the forces of gravity, friction , and air resistance affect motion. They describe the specific factors that affect the strength of each kind of force and they develop system models to explore equal and opposite forces and the forces exerted on a falling object.
Lesson 3 - Newton's Laws of Motion
Students explain and describe motion relative to a reference point and use models to calculate speed, velocity, and acceleration. They relate Newton's laws of motion to everyday contexts. Students manipulate variables and collect data to understand the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. Formulas: F=ma, a=F/m, m=F/a
Lesson 4 - Engineer It: Collisions between Objects
Students compare models of collisions between objects to observe changes that occur, and they design a method to gather evidence to compare packing materials in order to determine what makes a material useful for protection an item during a collision.

1. If you turn your assignments in ON TIME, you have the opportunity to earn an "A".
2. If you turn in your assignment one day late, there will be a 10% penalty deducted from the grade you earned. (example: you earn a 100% but your assignment was one day late. Your adjusted grade is now a 90%)
2. If you turn in your assignment one day late, there will be a 10% penalty deducted from the grade you earned. (example: you earn a 100% but your assignment was one day late. Your adjusted grade is now a 90%)
3. If you turn in your assignment two days late, there will be a 20% penalty deducted from the grade you earned (example: you earn a 90% but your assignment was turned in 2 class days late. Your adjusted grade is now a 70%)

Module K: Forces, Motion & Fields Unit 1: Forces and Motion Lesson 1: Introduction to Forces
Goals and Objectives:
1.) Engaging in Argument from Evidence - Construct and present oral and written arguments supported by empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support or refute an
explanation or a model for a phenomenon or a solution to a problem. (SEP MS-PS2-4)
2.) Forces and Motion - The motion of an object is determined by the sum of the forces acting on it; if there total forces on the object is not zero, its motion will change. The greater
the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to achieve the same change in motion. (DCI PS2.A-2)
3.) Cause and Effect - Cause and effect relationships may be used to predict phenomena in natural or designed systems. ( CCC MS-PS2-3)
4.) Systems and System Models - Models can be used to represent systems and their interactions --such as inputs, processes and outputs--and energy and matter flows within
systems. (CCC MS-PS2-4)
5.) Stability and Change - Explanations of stability and change in natural or designed systems can be constructed by examining the changes over time and forces at
different scales. (MS-PS2-2)
Students will...
1.) Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects. (MS-PS2-1)
2.) Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object. (MS-PS2-2)
3.) Construct and present arguments using evidence to support the claim that gravitational interactions are attractive and depend on the masses of interacting objects. (MS-PS2-4)
4.) Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem. (MS-ETS1-2)
5.) Continue to answer/address EVIDENCE NOTEBOOK prompts in each lesson and exploration.
