Why do things move? What factors affect how things move?
High School - Science - Physics - Unit 1
Motion in One dimension
An explanation (overview) of what students will be learning and doing in this unit. See example
Students will be analyzing motion graphically, mathematically, and conceptually. They will learn the causes of motion and the factors
that influence a moving object.
Coming Soon.
SC-HS-1.2.1
Students will
· select or construct accurate and appropriate representations for motion (visual, graphical, and mathematical);
· defend conclusions/explanations about the motion of objects and real-life phenomena from evidence/data.
Objects change their motion only when a net force is applied. Newton’s Laws of motion are used to describe the effects of forces on the motion of objects. Conservation of mechanical energy and conservation of momentum may also be used to predict motion.
