GSE S8P3 | Force, Mass and Motion

Georgia Standards of Excellence

Obtain, evaluate and communicate information about cause and effect relationships between force, mass, and the motion of objects.

a. Analyze and interpret data to identify patterns in the relationships between speed and distance, and velocity and acceleration.
(Clarification statement: Students should be able to analyze motion graphs, but students should not be expected to calculate velocity or acceleration.)
b. Construct an explanation using Newton’s Laws of Motion to describe the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
c. Construct an argument from evidence to support the claim that the amount of force needed to accelerate an object is proportional to its mass (inertia).

Essential Questions

1. How is speed and distance related?
2. What are Newton's Laws of Motion and how do they explain the motion of objects?
3. What are balanced and unbalanced forces?
4. How is the force required to move an object related to its mass?
