Weekly Learning Plan Trailer

2

The Forces Around Us

Students will acquire a basic definition of what force is and be able to identify examples of forces at work.

3

Rules of Force

Students will learn how force is governed by and relates to Newton’s three laws.

4

Measuring Force

Students will learn about directionality and magnitude of force and its relation to acceleration.

5

Interaction of forces

Students will understand what happens when two forces interact and be able to find net force.

6

Measuring Gravity

Students will gain a numerical measurement of the force of gravity on Earth and its relation to acceleration.

7

How much would you weigh on a different planet?

Students will be able to relate gravity to mass and distance.
