Big Idea:
Motion can be measured and described. It is influenced by forces such as friction.
Lesson 1: What is Motion?
Vocabulary:
Position-the location of an object in relation to a nearby object or place Motion-the change in position Speed-tells you how the position of an object changes during a certain amount of time Velocity-the speed of an object in one direction Acceleration-any change in velocity Force-any kind of push or pull affecting an object Drag-a force pushing against an object Displace-to move away Buoyant Force-the upward force of water Lift-the upward force of air
