Forces Lesson Plan
PHS.5 Students will analyze the scientific principles of motion, force, and work.
PHS.5.1 Research the scientific contributions of Newton, and use models to communicate Newton’s principles.
PHS.5.2 Design and conduct an investigation to study the motion of an object using properties such as displacement, time of motion, velocity, and acceleration.
PHS.5.4 Use mathematical and computational analyses to show the relationships among force, mass, and acceleration (i.e., Newton’s second law).
PHS.5.5 Design and construct an investigation using probe systems and/or online simulations to observe relationships between force, mass, and acceleration (F=ma).
