Fast and Slow, Objects Go
...
Subject Area: Science | Grade Level: 9
Lesson Length: 30 minutes
Keywords/Tags: Motion, Force, Gravity
Lesson Description: This activity will support students in developing knowledge and understanding about motion.

  • SC.6.P.13.1 Investigate and describe types of forces including contact forces and forces acting at a distance, such as electrical, magnetic, and gravitational.
  • SC.6.P.13.2 Explore the Law of Gravity by recognizing that every object exerts gravitational force on every other object and that the force depends on how much mass the objects have and how far apart they are.
  • SC.6.P.13.3 Investigate and describe that an unbalanced force acting on an object changes its speed, or direction of motion, or both.

Question #8
Newton’s first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
Question #9
Newton’s second Law of motion states: force = mass x acceleration
