Force and Motion Complete Materials Package

Students investigate concepts related to force and motion in the context of vehicle safety issues. The unit begins with investigations of speed, motion graphs, and the impact of mass and speed on vehicle accidents. Students investigate force, acceleration, mass and friction and are introduced to Newton’s Laws of Motion. They apply these concepts to vehicle braking and stopping distances and investigate the stability of vehicles with different centers of mass. The unit ends with an investigation of car accidents and students’ recommendations for reducing the risks of vehicle collisions.

Included are all materials for up to 5 classes of 32 students (or 160 students), mobile storage cart, Online Teacher Portal access for one teacher for 7 years, which includes: Spanish versions, LABsent, PowerPoints, Teacher’s Edition, Student Book, and supplemental resources.
