Force and Motion



Force and Motion
Big Idea: Force affects motion.

Iowa Core Ideas:
  • Concept 3.3 Understand and apply knowledge of motions and forces.
    • Skill 3.3.1 The motion of an object can be described by its position, direction of motion, and speed. That motion can be measured and represented on a graph.
    • Skill 3.3.2 An object that is not being subjected to a force will continue to move at a constant speed and in a straight line.
    • Skill 3.3.3 If more than one force acts on an object along a straight line, then the forces will reinforce or cancel one another, depending on their direction and magnitude. Unbalanced forces will cause changes in speed or direction of an object’s motion.
Core Essential Questions:
  • How does force affect motion?
  • How does force and motion impact our daily lives?
  • How do Newton’s laws describe the motion of a moving object?
  • How do forces influence motion?
  • How does the mass of an object influence motion?
  • How does friction affect a moving object?
Learning Targets:
  • I can explain how different forces will result in different motions
  • I can identify how different forces will impact motion


Key Vocabulary: 
Speed, Acceleration, Velocity, Momentum, Inertia, Mass, Position, Force, Balanced Forces, Unbalanced Forces, Push, Pull, Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy, Friction, Air Resistance
