S8P3.a - Analyze and interpret data to identify patterns in the relationships between speed and distance, and velocity and acceleration.

ARGUMENT-DRIVEN INQUIRY (ADI)

Lab 9. Mass and Motion: How do changes in the mass of an object affect its motion?

Lab 12. Unbalanced Forces: How does surface area influence friction and the motion of an object?

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.

ARGUMENT-DRIVEN INQUIRY (ADI)

Lab 7. Gravity and Free Fall: How does mass affect the amount of time it takes for an object to fall to the ground?

Lab 8. Pulling Force and Motion: How do changes in pulling force affect the motion of an object?

Lab 10. Electromagnets: How does the number of turns of wire affect the strength of an electromagnet?

Lab 11. Strength of Magnetic Force: Which electromagnet design is best for picking up 50 paperclips?

S8P3.c - Construct an argument from evidence to support the claim that the amount of force needed to accelerate an object is proportional to its mass (inertia).
