(4) Science concepts. The student knows concepts of force and motion evident in everyday life. The student is expected to:

  • (A) describe and calculate an object's motion in terms of position, displacement, speed, and acceleration; 
  • (B) measure and graph distance and speed as a function of time ; 
  • (C) investigate how an object's motion changes only when a net force is applied, including activities and equipment such as toy cars, vehicle restraints, sports activities, and classroom objects; 
  • (D) describe and calculate the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration using equipment such as dynamic carts, moving toys, vehicles, and falling objects; 
  • (E) explain the concept of conservation of momentum using action and reaction forces ; 
  • (F) describe the gravitational attraction between objects of different masses at different distances ; and 
  • (G) examine electrical force as a universal force between any two charged objects .
