S8P3.b- Newton's 3 Laws of Motion

Updated 7/8/2022: Johns

Unit 3: Force and Motion

STANDARD: S8P3   Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about cause and effect relationships between force, mass, and the motion of objects. 

ELEMENT: S8P3.b   Construct an explanation using Newton's Laws of Motion to describe the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.

LEARNING TARGETS: 

  1. I can identify gravity as a constant force that impacts an object’s motion.  (Knowledge)
  2. I can define force and motion and the relationship between them. (Knowledge)
  3. I can state Newton’s three Laws of Motion.  (Knowledge)
  4. I can give examples of each of Newton’s Laws in action. (Knowledge)
  5. I can define balanced and unbalanced forces. (Knowledge)
  6. I can use Newton’s Laws of motion to describe and predict motion. (Reasoning)
  7. I can demonstrate Newton’s Laws of Motion using real-world examples and/or computer representations. (Reasoning)
  8. I can explain the difference between mass and weight. (Reasoning)
  9. I can recognize relationships between mass and force. (Reasoning)
  10. I can identify whether an object is balanced or unbalanced in terms of the forces acting on it. (Reasoning)
  11. I can describe how balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object’s motion. (Reasoning)
  12. I can explain how friction affects the motion of an object. (Reasoning)
  13. I can construct an explanation using Newton’s Laws of Motion to describe the effects of balanced forces and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. (Reasoning)
