The student knows the nature of forces and the patterns of their interactions.

Content

The student is expected to design a simple experimental investigation that tests the effect of force on an object in a system such as a car on a ramp or a balloon rocket on a string.

Force, Motion, and Energy - Force Interactions

3.7.A demonstrate and describe forces acting on an object in contact or at a distance, including magnetism, gravity, and pushes and pulls;

4.7.A The student is expected to plan and conduct descriptive investigations to explore the patterns of forces such as gravity, friction, or magnetism in contact or at a distance on an object;

6.7.A identify and explain how forces act on objects, including gravity, friction, magnetism, applied forces, and normal forces, using real‐ world applications;

7.7.D analyze the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on the state of motion of an object using Newton's First Law of Motion

8.7.B investigate and describe how Newton's three laws of motion act simultaneously within systems such as in-vehicle restraints, sports activities, amusement park rides, Earth's tectonic activities, and rocket launches
