Strand 7.1: FORCES ARE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN MATTER

Forces are push or pull interactions between two objects. Changes in motion, balance and stability, and transfers of energy are all facilitated by forces on matter. Forces, including electric, magnetic, and gravitational forces, can act on objects that are not in contact with each other. Scientists use data from many sources to examine the cause and effect relationships determined by different forces.

Standard 7.1.2

Apply Newton's Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects in a system. Examples could include collisions between two moving objects or between a moving object and a stationary object. (PS2.A, ETS1.A, ETS1.B, ETS1.C)

• SEEd Storyline 7.1.2
  Storyline Big Idea: For every force between colliding objects, there is an equal and opposite force, related to mass.
