Force and Motion
The
Force and Motion unit guides the student to conduct
investigations to explore the Laws of Motion. The
student will look at the interactions in a simple system
that result in a change of direction of motion. Basic
resources include: McGraw-Hill Science textbook, Digital
Curriculum Press titles (downloadable videos available
from the internet), CFB Smart Plus lessons/questions
(password: smart), and web-based resources.
Critical Questions:
- What effect does force have on motion?
- What interactions occur in a simple system?
- What would happen to this system if a part was
missing or quit working?
Suggested Time Frame: 1 week

Describe some cycles found in
a simple system. Describe some interactions that
occur in a simple system. Identify interactions in
a system through changes in motion. Review a push or pull
as a directional change and identify Newton's 3 Laws of motion
as a consistent action that takes place whenever a force is
applied. (5.5 A-B) |
