SPS8 – OBTAIN, EVALUATE, and COMMUNICATE information TO EXPLAIN the relationship among force, mass, and motion.

SPS8b – CONSTRUCT an explanation based on experimental evidence TO SUPPORT the claims presented in Newton’s three laws of motion.

SPS8d – USE mathematics and computational thinking TO IDENTIFY the relationships between work, mechanical advantage, and simple machines.

Supporting Standards

Standard: SPS8a – PLAN and CARRY OUT an investigation and analyze the motion of an object using mathematical and graphical models.

Standard: SPS8c – ANALYZE and INTERPRET data to identify the relationship between mass and gravitational force for falling objects.

Essential Questions	Corresponding Big Ideas
How do forces affect motion? Why are Newton’s laws of motion still relevant today?	Motion and forces are directly related, increase force, increase motion. Newton’s Laws are forever present in our daily lives and shape many of the decisions we make.
