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.a Analyze and interpret data to identify patterns in the relationships between speed and distance, and velocity and acceleration.
LEARNING TARGETS: (Clarification statement: Students should be able to analyze motion graphs, but students should not be expected to calculate velocity or acceleration.)
- I can define speed and distance. (Knowledge)
- I can define velocity and acceleration. (Knowledge)
- I can describe and explain the difference between speed and velocity. (Reasoning)
- I can explain the relationship between speed and distance, and velocity and acceleration. (Reasoning)
- I can describe how an object can move at a constant speed, but still accelerate. (Reasoning)
- I can analyze and interpret data in a graph. (Reasoning)
- I can analyze motion graphs to determine the motion of objects. (Reasoning)
- I can analyze and interpret data to identify patterns in the relationship between speed and distance, and velocity and acceleration. (Reasoning)
