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.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).

LEARNING TARGETS: 

1. I can define inertia. (Knowledge)
2. I can explain inertia and how it affects motion. (Reasoning)
3. I can discuss the relationship between mass and inertia. (Reasoning)
4. I can construct an argument from evidence to support the claim that the amount of force needed to accelerate an object is proportional to its mass. (Product)
