SCIENCE.6.7.B — 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.B — 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
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.
Net force is a quantity that indicates whether objects in a system will experience a change in motion. When the net force of a system is zero, the objects in the system do not experience a change in motion (balanced forces). If the net force is greater than zero (unbalanced forces), the objects in the system will experience a change in motion.
