Newton's Laws of Motion

Pace: 10 class periods
Checkpoint:  22 April

BIG IDEAS
MS-PS2-1

• For any pair of interacting objects, the force exerted by the first object on the second object is equal in strength to the force that the second object exerts on the first, but in the opposite direction (Newton’s third law). 

MS-PS2-2

• The motion of an object is determined by the sum of the forces acting on it; if the total force on the object is not zero, its motion will change. The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to achieve the same change in motion. For any given object, a larger force causes a larger change in motion. 
• All positions of objects and the directions of forces and motions must be described in an arbitrarily chosen reference frame and arbitrarily chosen units of size. In order to share information with other people, these choices must also be shared. 

Standards Covered:

​MS-PS2-1
Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects.
MS-PS2-2
Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.

Pretest and Differentiation

If you score a 90% or above on this pretest on your first attempt you will not need to complete any of the practice for this unit and an accelerated assignment will be provided.  The pretest is not open internet or buddy or book.  This pretest will be timed and may only be completed in class.
