Force+and+Motion

DESCRIPTION:


 * The students will explore different forms of energy, including mechanical, light, sound and heat/thermal. The students will demonstrate and observe that work is done when forces, such as pushing, pulling, magnetism and gravity, cause change. ||

How is light energy useful in everyday life? How is sound energy useful in everyday life? How is heat/thermal energy useful in everyday life? 3.6B How can pushing and pulling change an object? When does work happen? How are swings, balls, pulleys and wagons changed by pushing and pulling? 3.6C Why is gravity a force? Why is magnetism a force? What are some observable effects the force of gravity can have on an object? What are some observable effects the force of magnetism can have on an object? || Key Definitions force = a push or pull applied to an object gravity = the force of attraction between two objects, like the Earth and the Sun motion = a change in position position = where an object is located in space sound = energy produced from a vibrating object vibration = rapid movement back and forth
 * **Essential Questions** || 3.6A How is mechanical energy useful in everyday life?
