Strand 2: Properties and Principles of Force and Motion
1. The motion of an object is described by its change in position relative to another object or point
Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities Suggested Assessments
Concept A: The motion of an object is
described as a change in position, direction,
and speed relative to another object (frame
of reference)
Grade 8
Concept B: An object that is accelerating is
speeding up, slowing down, or changing
direction
Concept C: Momentum depends on the
mass of the object and the velocity with
which it is traveling

Strand 2: Properties and Principles of Force and Motion
2. Forces affect motion
Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities Suggested Assessments
Concept A: Forces are classified as either
contact forces (pushes, pulls, friction,
buoyancy) or non-contact forces (gravity,
magnetism) that can be described in terms
of direction and magnitude
Grade 7
Concept B: Every object exerts a
gravitational force on every other object
Grade 7
Concept C: Magnetic forces are related to
electrical forces as different aspects of a
single electromagnetic force
