SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS/PROCESSES

  • Energy is a property of many substances and is transferred in many ways.
  • Unbalanced forces will cause changes in the speed or direction of an object’s motion.
  • All energy can be considered to be either kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion; potential energy, which depends on relative position; or energy contained by a field, such as electromagnetic waves.

Students measure the force required to lift objects using different simple machines. Each successive activity introduces new, more complex concepts that build upon and extend student understanding of force and motion. They calculate work input, work output, and mechanical advantage and are introduced to friction, efficiency, and the second law of thermodynamics.
