A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
demonstrate and describe forces acting on an object in contact or at a distance, including magnetism, gravity, and pushes and pulls; and
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.
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
The patterns of forces interacting with objects are directional. Magnetism causes a push or pull between a magnet and a magnetic surface. Friction always acts in a direction which is opposite to the direction of the object's motion. Gravity always pulls an object toward the ground. The normal force pushes up perpendicular to the surface on which an object rests.
Cause-and-effect relationships are relationships between two or more variables or phenomena whereby one variable or event leads to a predictable response. Events have causes—sometimes simple, sometimes multi-faceted.
Because gravity acts on an object (cause), the object will fall toward Earth (effect). Because friction acts in a direction that is opposite to the direction of the object's motion (cause), the object will slow down (effect). Because an object at rest on a horizontal surface is pulled down toward Earth (cause), the normal force pushes up on the object with the same magnitude (effect).
