Essential Questions:

"What are Newton's First, Second and Third Laws of motion?"
"How are balanced and unbalanced forces related to motion?"
"How are force and mass related to acceleration?"


We Will Be Able To:
  • Model how force and mass are related to acceleration
  • Explain how the motion of objects depends on the sum of forces on the object and the mass of that object
  • ​Demonstrate the relationship between kinetic energy to the mass and speed of an object
  • Calculate the velocity an object moves at

MS-PS2-1.Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects.  [Clarification Statement: Examples of practical problems could include the impact of collisions between two cars, between a car and stationary objects, and between a meteor and a space vehicle.] 

MS-PS2-2.Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.  [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on balanced (Newton’s First Law) and unbalanced forces in a system, qualitative comparisons of forces, mass and changes in motion (Newton’s Second Law), frame of reference, and specification of units.]

MS-PS3-1.Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on descriptive relationships between kinetic energy and mass separately from kinetic energy and speed. Examples could include riding a bicycle at different speeds, rolling different sizes of rocks downhill, and getting hit by a wiffle ball versus a tennis ball.]
