How are horizontalmotion and verticalmotion different? Howare they similar?How does the pull of theEarth and air resistanceaffect the accelerationof falling objects?How do studentsrepresent and analyze asystem of two movingobjects, for constantvelocity andacceleration?2010 College‐ and Career‐Readiness Standards and K‐12 English Language Arts2010 College‐ and Career‐Readiness Standards and K‐12 English Language ArtsCompare and contrasthorizontal motion andmotion of a freely fallingobjectApply the mathematicaland graphicalrelationships betweenposition, time, velocityand acceleration to a twobodied systemDerive mathematicalexpressions for velocity,acceleration anddisplacementGrades 11‐12 Literacy in Scienceand Technical SubjectsGrades 11‐12 Literacy in Scienceand Technical SubjectsDifferent shaped objects, tickertape timer, motionsensors, graph paper, computers and data analysissoftware.Textbook or supplemental book with examples orproblemsLA.11‐12.RSTLA.11‐12.WHSTReadingWritingCollect data of freely fallingobjects and graph data tofind relationshipsCompare graphs with thegraphs of objects inconstant motion and withchanging motionUse multiplerepresentations: Motiondiagrams, graphsDetermine what factorsaffect the motion of afreely falling objectDerive expressions forpredicting distance of anaccelerating object withtime and without time as avariableLab report‐ FreefallPredict and test the meetingof two moving objects(passing cars or hikers)2009 Science Grades: 9‐12 SCI.9‐12.5.1.12 Science is both a body of knowledge and an evidence‐based, model‐building enterprise that continuallyextends, refines, and revises knowledge. The four Science Practices strands encompass the knowledge andreasoning skills that students must acquire to be proficient in science.2009 Science Grades: 9‐12 SCI.9‐12.5.2.12 Physical science principles, including fundamental ideas about matter, energy, and motion, are powerfulconceptual tools for making sense of phenomena in physical, living, and Earth systems science.2009 Science Grades: 9‐12 SCI.9‐12.5.2.12.E.a The motion of an object can be described by its position and velocity as functions of time and by itsaverage speed and average acceleration during intervals of time.2009 Science Grades: 9‐12 SCI.9‐12.5.2.12.E.1 Compare the calculated and measured speed, average speed, and acceleration of an object in motion, andaccount for differences that may exist between calculated and measured values.2009 Science Grades: 9‐12 SCI.9‐12.5.2.12.E.b Objects undergo different kinds of motion (translational, rotational, and vibrational).
