Understanding Motion and Force
This course helps you understand how and why rolling and falling motions occur and how to analyze the forces that cause these motions.
Session 1: Investigating Motion
Learners make predictions and observe examples of rolling and falling motion. Teaching and learning strategies focus on making and testing predictions.
Session 2: Analyzing Forces
Learners identify some of the major forces acting on moving objects, including gravity, friction, the normal force, and impulsive forces. Teaching and learning strategies focus on observation and experimentation.
All sessions and their content correspond to the National Science Education Standards.
