WY.SCI.MS.PS2.2
Wyoming Science Content and Performance Standards
Grades 6-8
Learning Domain: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Standard: Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object's motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.
Degree of Alignment:
Not Rated
(0 users)
Learning Domain: The Number System
Standard: Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.
Degree of Alignment:
Not Rated
(0 users)
Learning Domain: Statistics and Probability
Standard: Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.

Science Domain: Physical Sciences
Topic: Forces and Interactions
Standard: Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on balanced (Newton’s First Law) and unbalanced forces in a system, qualitative comparisons of forces, mass and changes in motion (Newton’s Second Law), frame of reference, and specification of units.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to forces and changes in motion in one-dimension in an inertial reference frame and to change in one variable at a time. Assessment does not include the use of trigonometry.]
