ESSENTIAL UNIT 6 (E06)
(Motion and Force)
(June 2011)
Unit Statement: The detection and measurement of motion is presented and the concepts
of acceleration and force including Newton’s three laws are developed using friction and
gravity as specific examples.
Essential Outcomes: (Must be Assessed)
1. The Student Will identify frames of reference and describe how they are used to
measure motion. (p. 328 – 329)
2. TSW compare and contrast average speed and instantaneous speed and calculate
the speed of an object using slopes. (p. 332 – 335)
3. TSW contrast speed and velocity and describe how velocities combine. (p. 336 – 337)
4. TSW identify changes in motion that produce acceleration, calculate the
acceleration of an object and classify the acceleration as positive or negative.
(p. 342 – 348)
5. TSW describe examples of force and explain how the motion of an object is
affected when balanced and unbalanced forces act on it. (p. 356 – 358)
6. TSW compare and contrast the four kinds of friction and describe how Earth’s
gravity and air resistance affect falling objects. (p. 359 - 361)
7. TSW summarize Newton’s first law of motion and its relation to inertia. (p. 364 –
365)
8. TSW describe Newton’s second law of motion and use it to calculate acceleration,
force, and mass values and to relate the mass of an object to its weight. (p.
365 – 369)
9. TSW explain how action and reaction forces are related according to Newton’s
third law of motion and calculate the momentum of an object using the law
of conservation of momentum. (p. 372 – 377)
10. TSW design or choose from a selection of investigations provided by the instructor
and implement it with a focus on the majority of the areas of the scientific
process. (Appendix in Curriculum Guide)

Introduced and Practiced Outcomes:
1. The Student Will identify appropriate SI units for measuring distances, speed, and
force, and interpret speed-time and distance time graphs. (p.329 – 330, 334, 346 –
348, 357,)
2. TSW describe the path of a projectile and identify the forces that produce
projectile motion. (p. 362)
3. TSW distinguish between distance and displacement and calculate displacement
using vector addition. (p. 330 – 331)
4. TSW identify the forms of electromagnetic force that can both attract and repel
and describe the universal forces action within the nucleus. (p. 378 – 380)
5. TSW define Newton’s law of universal gravitation and centripetal force. (p. 380 - 382)
