Motion and Forces
Within
the Force and Motion unit, students are expected to make
time and distance measurements in order to calculate
speed. Students will also interpret speed graphs.
Students will also calculate acceleration.
Students are expected to distinguish between force, mass
and inertia. Students are also expected to identify
forces that have an effect on moving objects.
Critical Questions
- How does motion affect every day life?
- How does Newton's second law of Physics relate to
acceleration?
- What types of forces can change motion?
