SCIENCE.6.7.C — Vertical Alignment
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
plan and conduct a descriptive investigation that predicts how pushes and pulls can start, stop, or change the speed or direction of an object's motion.
plan and conduct a descriptive investigation to demonstrate how the strength of a push and pull changes an object's motion.
plan and conduct a descriptive investigation to demonstrate and explain how position and motion can be changed by pushing and pulling objects such as swings, balls, and wagons.
SCIENCE.6.7.C — Breakout of skills
Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.
Recurring themes and concepts — Connections to the content
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
A consistent pattern is present when two objects collide. In any collision, the forces that result between the two objects are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. For example, when a bat collides with a ball, the bat applies a force to the ball and the ball applies an equal amount of force to the bat.
It is important to consider how changes in scale, proportion, or quantity affect a system’s structure or performance. Scale refers to the size of an object in relation to another object or its environment. Proportion is the ratio of one quantity to another. Quantity is a count of a set of objects or a measurement of a substance.
The forces acting between two objects are equal in magnitude (quantity).
