Illinois State Standard 12D: Know and apply concepts that describe force and motion and the principles that explain them.
Second trimester students will be learning about Newton's Three Laws of Motion. During this trimester students will utilize a classroom presenter software to participate in several scientific investigations related to Newton’s Laws of Motion. This unit is full of interactive, hands-on activities that will get students developing and interacting with Newton's Laws of Motion. Throughout the trimester students will also further develop their understanding of scientific inquiry. Through the inquiry process, students will be generating their own questions & hypothesis and then constructing experiments to answer their questions.
Student Friendly Version:
At the beginning of the trimester, we give students the goals of the trimester. We find it helps students identify where they are competent and where they need improvement. To meet the standard, students must be able to:
FORCE AND MOTION
□ Newton's First Law - Explain ways in which Newton’s first law affects motion.
□ Newton's Second Law - Describe the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
□ Newton's Third Law – Describe the relationship between an action and a reaction.
□ Describe how or why a predetermined situation applies to Newton’s Laws
□ Describe the relationship between weight, gravity, and the mass of an object
□ Describe the relationship between distance and time
VARIABILITY
□ Describe variability in terms of means, range, outliers, gaps, and clusters.
□ Create appropriate graphs for numerical and categorical data using independent and dependent variables.
