Goal 6:
The learner will conduct investigations, use models, simulations, and appropriate technologies and information systems to build an understanding of motion and forces.

Select an objective:
[|Objective 6.01]Demonstrate ways that simple machines can change force.

[|Objective 6.02]Analyze simple machines for mechanical advantage and efficiency.

[|Objective 6.03]Evaluate motion in terms of Newton's Laws:
 * The force of friction retards motion.
 * For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
 * The greater the force, the greater the change in motion.
 * An object's motion is the result of the combined effect of all forces acting on the object:
 * A moving object that is not subjected to a force will continue to move at a constant speed in a straight line
 * An object at rest will remain at rest.

[|Objective 6.04]Analyze that an object's motion is always judged relative to some other object or point.

[|Objective 6.05]Describe and measure quantities that characterize moving objects and their interactions within a system:
 * Time.
 * Distance.
 * Mass.
 * Force.
 * Velocity.
 * Center of mass.
 * Acceleration.

[|Objective 6.06]Investigate and analyze the real world interactions of balanced and unbalanced forces:
 * Sports and recreation.
 * Transportation.
 * The human body.
