STANDARD 5.7 (PHYSICS): by Grade 6
Strands with Cumulative Progress IndicatorsA. Motion and Forces
- Recognize that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object moving in a straight line at a steady speed will continue to move in a straight line at a steady speed unless a net (unbalanced) force acts on it.
- Recognize that motion can be retarded by forces such as friction and air resistance.
- Recognize that everything on or near the earth is pulled toward the earth's center by gravitational force.
B. Energy Transformations
- Recognize that heat flows through materials or across space from warmer objects to cooler ones.
- Show that vibrations in materials can generate waves that can transfer energy from one place to another.
- Design an electric circuit to investigate the behavior of a system.
