Essential Ideas:
Motion may be described and analysed by the use of graphs and equations.
Classical physics requires a force to change a state of motion, as suggested by Newton in his laws of motion.
The fundamental concept of energy lays the basis upon which much of science is built.
Conservation of momentum is an example of a law that is never violated.
Essential Questions:
Why is describing the motion within a system essential to studying the system?
How would you prepare differently for races of greatest acceleration versus greatest speed?
How do ideal representations of motion differ from reality and why?
How are mathematical formulas created from collected data?
Is a mathematical formula always the best way describe the motion within a system
When are semantics essential (speed v. velocity) and when are terms interchangeable?
What are scientific questions? Which of your questions are testable / quantifiable?
