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
a. Identify the force (i.e., push or pull)
required to do work (move an object).
Concept D: The interaction of mass and
forces can be explained by Newton’s Laws
of Motion that are used to predict changes
in motion
C10 a. Students will act out the flowing motions.
After each pantomime, students will identify
which force they were using: push or pull.
For example, throwing a baseball (pushing)
mowing the lawn (push), dragging a wagon
(pull), rolling a suitcase (pull). (1.8)
a. Students will make a chart of other activities
that use a pulling or pushing motion.
a. Describe ways to change the motion of
an object (i.e., how to cause an object to
go slower, go faster, go farther, change
direction, or stop).
C1
C8
a. Students will roll a ball to a classmate. They
will answer, How can you change the speed,
direction or make it stop Students will
investigate as they roll the ball to each other
and describe the ways they can change the
motion. (1.8)
a. Students will generate a list of ways to change
the motion of a bike.
