Unit 4: Motion & Stability

L.P 4.1
- I can ask questions about a phenomenon that I observe, then work collaboratively to sort those questions into categories.
LP 4.2
- I can accurately represent a model of push, pull, acceleration forces.
LP 4.3
- I can describe how Newton's Laws can be used to interpret an object's motion. The will apply the Laws to calculate forces acting on an objects.
LP 4.4
- I can describe various collisions, including elastic and inelastic as well as describe impulse during a collision.

STUDENTS WILL:

EXPLORE THE FOLLOWING SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PRACTICES:

-Asking Questions and Defining Problems

HAVE DISCOURSE ON THE FOLLOWING DISCIPLINARY CORE IDEAS:

PS2.A Forces and motion
Newton’s 2nd law (F=ma) and the conservation of momentum can be used to predict changes in the motion of macroscopic objects.
PS2.B Types of interactions
Forces at a distance are explained by fields that can transfer energy and can be described in terms of the arrangement and properties of the interacting objects and the distance between them. These forces can be used to describe the relationship between electrical and magnetic fields.

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING CROSS CUTTING CONCEPTS:

-Patterns
-Cause and Effect
-System and System Models
-Structure and Function

GS 1, a b c d. - Questioning

Students can develop and use relevant scientific questions to investigate phenomena, test a hypothesis, conduct an experiment or solve a problem.
