5.P.1.1 & 5.P.1.4
::
Explain how factors such as gravity, friction, and change in mass affect the motion of objects.
Predict the effect of a given force or change in mass on the motion of an object.
Essential Vocabulary:
gravity
friction
force
motion
balanced force
unbalanced force
mass
Newton's Laws of Motion
inertia
momentum
directionEssential Questions:
- Why are all objects pulled toward the Earth?
- How does gravity affect the motion of all objects?
- What causes friction?
- How does friction affect the motion of all objects?
- Which type of force produces motion: balanced or unbalanced? Why?
- How does a change/difference in mass change the motion of an object?

5.P.1.2
::
Infer the motion of objects in terms of how far they travel in a certain amount of time and the direction in which they travel.
Essential Vocabulary:
speed
distance
time
motion
acceleration
units
meters (m)
seconds (s)
meters per second (m/s)Essential Questions:
- How do you calculate the SPEED of an object when given the distance and time traveled?
- How do you calculate the DISTANCE an object travels when given the speed and time traveled?
- How do you calculate the TIME an object travels when given the speed and distance traveled?
Distance/Time Graphs
5.P.1.3
::
Illustrate the motion of an object using a graph to show a change in position over a period of time.
Essential Vocabulary:
graph
distance
time
motion
constant
stationary
accelerate
accelerating
decelerate
deceleratingEssential Questions:
- How can we visually display the motion of an object using a graph?
- How can we transfer a table of motion data into a line graph?
- What are the basic types of lines seen in distance time graphs, and what type of motion do they represent?
