Unit 2: Motion and Forces

Unit 2: Motion and Forces

This unit focuses on Motion (reference point, speed, velocity, acceleration) and Forces (Types of forces, Drawing Force Arrow Diagrams, and calculating net force). We will collect data for objects that speed up, slow down, and stay at a constant speed and then analyze why these objects had this motion. While working on this unit we will continue to strengthen our skills learned from unit 1. The culminating project will be the Balloon Powered Car Project.
