Learning Goals
- 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.Other Details
Supply List
Guided notes are sent out weekly on Sundays. Optional: Colored pencils for notes and some common materials for demonstrations or optional projects. Most items can be found around the home. **Calculators are also encouraged.**
