3 GRADE 5 PHYSICAL SCIENCE: FORCES AND MOTION Standard 5.P.5: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the factors that affect the motion of an object. 5.P.5A.1 Use mathematical and computational thinking to describe and predict the motion of an object (including position, direction, and speed). 5.P.5A.2 Develop and use models to explain how the amount or type of force (contact and noncontact) affects the motion of an object. 5.P.5A.3 Plan and conduct controlled scientific investigations to test the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the rate and direction of motion of objects. 5.P.5A.4 Analyze and interpret data to describe how a change of force, a change in mass, or friction affects the motion of an object. 5.P.5A.5 Design and test possible devices or solutions that reduce the effects of friction on the motion of an object. GRADE 8 PHYSICAL SCIENCE: FORCES AND MOTION Standard 8.P.2: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the effects of forces on the motion and stability of an object. 8.P.2A.1 Plan and conduct controlled scientific investigations to test how varying the amount of force or mass of an object affects the motion (speed and direction), shape, or orientation of an object. 8.P.2A.2 Develop and use models to compare and predict the resulting effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object s motion in terms of magnitude and direction.

4 8.P.2A.3 Construct explanations for the relationship between the mass of an object and the concept of inertia (Newton s First Law of Motion). 8.P.2A.4 Analyze and interpret data to support claims that for every force exerted on an object there is an equal force exerted in the opposite direction (Newton s Third Law of Motion). 8.P.2A.5 Analyze and interpret data to describe and predict the effects of forces (including gravitational and friction) on the speed and direction of an object. 8.P.2A.6 Use mathematical and computational thinking to generate graphs that represent the motion of an object s position and speed as a function of time. 8.P.2A.7 Use mathematical and computational thinking to describe the relationship between the speed and velocity (including positive and negative expression of direction) of an object in determining average speed (v=d/t).
