Forces+and+Motion

Goal 1: The learner wil conduct investigations and use appropriate technologiesto build an understanding of forces and motion in technological designs.** Star Base will cover this area. [|Force and Motion] [|What is Force] 4.01 Determine the motion of an object by following and measuring its position over time. 4.02 Evaluate how pushing or pulling forces can change the position and motion of an object. [|Forces in Action] 4.03 Explain how energy is needed to make machines move: moving air and gravity. [|Friction] 4.04 Determine that an unbalanced force is needed to move an object or change its direction. [|Moving Trucks] 4.05 Determine factors that affect motion including: force,fricition,inertia and momentum. [|Friction] 4.06 Build and use a model to solve a mechanical design problem. a. Devise a test for the model. b. Evaluate the results of test. 4.07 Determine how people use simple machines to solve problems.
