Unit 2: Rockets and Motion
Duration of Days: 28
LP 2.1 I can demonstrate patterns found in collected data of Newton’s laws by constructing an appropriate graphical display for it.
LP 2.2 I can compare various types of data sets to find patterns surrounding Newton’s laws
LP 2.3 I can analyze patterns in data to make scientific claims and prediction about the momentum of an object
LP 2.4 I can use statistics and probability to analyze patterns in data to make scientific claims and prediction about the momentum of an object
LP 2.5 I can apply mathematical techniques to interpret data in real world collisions
STUDENTS WILL:
EXPLORING THE FOLLOWNG SCIENCE AND ENGINERRING PRACTICES:
- Asking questions and defining problems
- Developing and using models
- Using mathematics and and computational thinking
HAVE DISCORURSE ON THE FOLLOWING DISCIPINART CORE IDEAS:
PS2.A: Forces and Motion
Newton’s second law accurately predicts changes in the motion of macroscopic objects. (HS-PS2-1)
Momentum is defined for a particular frame of reference; it is the mass times the velocity of the object. (HS-PS2-2)
OBERVE THE FOLLWING CROSS CUTTING CONCEPTS:
- Cause and Effect
- System and System Models
- Structure and Function
GS 2a, b, c - Students can design and conduct appropriate scientific investigations.
GS 3a, b, c - Students cant construct and use models to represent and analyze phenomena and systems
