The Science 9/10 Realignment Team in Spring 2008 reached consensus that this content will be delivered during the first semester of the 9th grade year. Overarching Enduring Understandings: Everything on Earth seems to be moving. We often describe our place in this world in terms where we are compared to objects and other people. As we move about, our motion is described in terms of where we travel and how fast we go. Understanding motion allows us to predict and plan. Our motion and the motion of Earth itself is a result of forces. Understanding how these forces affect us and people & objects around us lets us predict what can happen to their motion. Using our knowledge of force and motion, we invent machines to make out daily tasks seem easier to accomplish.

Key Ideas and Enabling Knowledge Questions Core Activities GLE References: 1.1.2 Motion of Objects 1.3.1 Nature of Force 1.3.2 Forces to Explain Motion 1. Forces as Interactions Force is always an interaction between two objects; i.e. forces always occur in pairs Two objects will exert equal, but oppositely directed forces on each other Some interaction forces involve objects touching; others act at a distance: gravity, magnetism, and electrical force 2. Forces at a Distance The strength of the forces at a distance depends on the mass of the objects (gravity), strength of the magnets, or the amount of charge (electrical force) As the distance between objects, charged objects, or magnets increases, the interaction force decreases Two kinds of charge exist: positive and negative.
