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)
2.1.A.a The motion of an object is described as a
change in position, direction, and speed relative to
another object (frame of reference) Represent and
analyze the motion of an object graphically

Students will complete the Walking Graphs lab.
Students will walk and build various
graphs based on ability.
Concept A: The motion of an object is described as a
change in position, direction, and speed relative to
another object (frame of reference)
2.1.A.b Analyze the speed of two objects in terms
of distance and time
Strand 7E, 8.1B
Concept A: The motion of an object is described as a
change in position, direction, and speed relative to
another object (frame of reference)
2.1.A.c Calculate the speed of objects (speed =
distance/time)
Strand 7C
Concept B: An object that is accelerating is speeding
up, slowing down, or changing direction
2.1.B.a Measure and analyze an object’s motion
in terms of speed, velocity, and acceleration

(1.3, 1.4, 1.8)
Students will analyze various speeds of the
students. Have student walk slow and fast and
graph both sets of data on same set of coordinates
and calculate the speeds from the slope of each
line.
(1.8,2.3)
Students will calculate the slope of the line to find
the speed.
(1.6, 2.3)
Students will complete a lab for positive
acceleration with student's walking, graphing data,
use graph to find final and initial velocity and final
and initial time. Use formula to find the average
acceleration of the student. For negative
acceleration, use a bowling ball or basketball. Roll
it on floor or ground and graph data. Do same as
for positive acceleration. Discuss the relationship
between speed and velocity in hurricanes. Discuss
the effects on society and in disasters what are the
roles of private and government groups.
Students will switch data with another
group and graph their data and calculate
speed from the slope of the line.
Students will take teacher's data graph it
and find the slope of the line.
Students will compare the speed graph
with the acceleration graph.
Concept B: An object that is accelerating is speeding
up, slowing down, or changing direction
