STANDARD 5.7    (PHYSICS) ALL STUDENTS WILL GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING OF NATURAL LAWS AS THEY APPLY TO MOTION, FORCES, AND ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS.

 

Descriptive Statement:  Basic principles of physics emerge in this standard, where the study of force and motion leads students to the concept of energy. All forms of energy are introduced and investigated, and principles of transformation and laws of conservation are developed.

 

 

Cumulative Progress Indicators

 

By the end of Grade 2, students will:

 

A.     Motion and Forces

 1.         Distinguish among the different ways objects can move such as:

·       fast and slow.

·      in a straight line.

·       in a circular path.

·       back and forth.

 2.         Show that the position and motion of an object can be changed by pushing or pulling the object.

 

B.     Energy Transformations

 1.         Demonstrate that sound can be produced by vibrating objects.
