Illustration of Understands and applies knowledge of motions and forces in the ICLE's Rigor and Relevance Framework
Quadrant C

Students will be able to solve one-dimensional and two-dimensional motion problems that involve uniform acceleration quantitatively and graphically.

*Systems, Order and Organization

Quadrant D

Students will be able to construct a model that will allow them to determine when emergency rations should be released from a rescue plane traveling horizontally at a given speed and height above the ground in order for the rations to be reach a stranded party of explorers on the ground.

*Systems, Order and Organization

Quadrant A

Students will be able to define and describe different types of motion.

Quadrant B

Students will be able to construct, analyze, and interpret various representations of linear motion including those that are mathematical, pictorial, and graphical in nature using such tools as ticker tape timers, and calculator- and computer-based laboratory tools. Students should also be able to make connections to how these tools are similar to how bats and law officials use sonar to respectively locate objects and determine the speed of automobiles traveling on the highway.

*Systems, Order and Organization

*Unifying Concept (NSES) represented in this activity. Unifying concepts cross curricular areas and provide students with productive and insightful ways of thinking about and integrating basic ideas that explain the natural and designed world.
