Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 7
This class is taught in English.
  • - Investigate what causes an object to move, continue, and stop. - Understand how to calculate speed, velocity, acceleration, net force, kinetic energy, potential energy, work, and power. - Demonstrate and describe how an object’s speed or direction of motion changes when a force acts upon it. - Explore how other forces, such as gravity and friction, affect an object and its motion. - Apply your knowledge of Newton's Laws of Motion to construct a device or devices. - Explain that when energy is transferred from one system to another, the total quantity of energy does not change.
