Grade 8 Science - Unit X Overview
|
Force and Motion
| In the
tenth unit, Force & Motion, students will demonstrate
Newton's 2nd and 3rd Laws of Motion.
Students will identify the relationship between force
and motion while identifying properties of waves and how
waves travel through space and other media.
Critical Questions:
- How do forces affect masses and acceleration?
- How are motions related to forces?
- What is the relationship among waves, energy and
matter?
Suggested Time Frame: 3.5 Weeks
