Standard 6: Composition and Structure of the Universe and the Motion of the Objects within
It
2. Regular and predictable motions of objects in the universe can be described and explained as the
result of gravitational forces
Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities Suggested Assessments
Concept D: Gravity is a force of attraction between
objects in the solar system that governs their motion
6.2.D.a Explain orbital motions of moons around
planets, and planets around the Sun, as the result
of gravitational forces between those objects

Discussion -Ask: What is the largest object you
see in the sky (the sun). You don't see the
planets. Talk about the size of the sun and how it
keeps the planets in orbit. Talk about the largest
planet, which is Jupiter, and the fact that it has
several moons.
(1.8, 3.5)
Students will answer the following
question: If Jupiter suddenly moved
where Mars is, what effect could that
have on the position of our planet in the
solar system Any answer is acceptable
as long as the student can back it up with
known facts.
Strand 1: Properties and Principles of Matter and Energy
2. Energy has a source, can be transferred, and can be transformed into various forms but is conserved
between and within systems
Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities Suggested Assessments
Concept B: Mechanical energy comes from the motion
(kinetic energy) and/or relative position (potential
energy) of an object
1.2.B.a Relate kinetic energy to an object’s mass

Use 3 different size balls, e.g., like a bowling ball,
basketball, and tennis ball. Have them apply
enough force to get each to a certain distance. Ask
why did you have to exert more force on the
Students will work through the following
scenario: You are hired by NASA to
determine how much force it takes to lift
a rocket off the ground. There are
