SCIENCE.3.9 — 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.

S.3.9

Earth and space. The student knows there are recognizable objects and patterns in Earth's solar system. The student is expected to:

S.7.7.A

calculate average speed using distance and time measurements from investigations;

S.7.7.B

distinguish between speed and velocity in linear motion in terms of distance, displacement, and direction;

S.7.7.C

measure, record, and interpret an object's motion using distance-time graphs; and

IPC.5.A

investigate, analyze, and model motion in terms of position, velocity, acceleration, and time using tables, graphs, and mathematical relationships;

IPC.5.B

analyze data to explain the relationship between mass and acceleration in terms of the net force on an object in one dimension using force diagrams, tables, and graphs;

PHYS.5.A

analyze different types of motion by generating and interpreting position versus time, velocity versus time, and acceleration versus time using hand graphing and real-time technology such as motion detectors, photogates, or digital applications;

PHYS.5.B

define scalar and vector quantities related to one- and two-dimensional motion and combine vectors using both graphical vector addition and the Pythagorean theorem;

PHYS.5.C

describe and analyze motion in one dimension using equations with the concepts of distance, displacement, speed, velocity, frames of reference, and acceleration;

PHYS.5.D

describe and analyze acceleration in uniform circular and horizontal projectile motion in two dimensions using equations;
