Force and Motion
5th-8th grades

2
Motion
Force can cause a change in an object
Motion is the change in direction, shape or position
Forces change the position of objects
Position describes where the object is in relation to another object
The other object acts as a reference point.
The reference point is used to support a change in position
3
Multiple Choice
You can describe the ___________ of an object by saying it is moving in a straight line or is curved around another object.
position
motion
force
reference point
4
Multiple Choice
You can also describe where an object is by its __________ in relation to another object.
position
motion
reference point
force
5
Multiple Choice
The second object acts as a _____________.
position
reference point
motion
force
6
Multiple Choice
When an object changes _______, you know it has ________.
motion, position
reference points, motion
position, motion
reference points, positions
7
Speed and Velocity
Speed is the distance an object moves in a unit of time
Constant speed is motion at a steady pace; it's an object moving at the same speed over a certain period of time ("cruise control")
Average speed is the total distance traveled by the object divided by the elapsed time to cover the distance
Instantaneous speed is an object's speed at a specific moment in time
Velocity is the speed and direction of a moving object
Distance / Time = Speed
8
Multiple Choice
Motion can also be described by finding an object/s ______, or how fast or slow it moves in a certain amount of time.
direction
motion
speed
velocity
9
Multiple Choice
In addition, you can describe the object's speed and direction together. This is called ________.
constant speed
velocity
instantaneous speed
average speed
10
Force
An influence or power that can cause a change in an object
5 Forms of Force: Gravitational , Magnetism, Friction, Push, Pull
Gravity is an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass, "pulls"
Magnetism is a force of attraction that causes magnetic material to move
Friction is a force that acts in an opposite direction to movement between two surfaces that are in contact with one another
Push is the act of applying force in order to move something away
Pull is the act of applying force to move something towards you
11
Multiple Choice
______ is the force that attracts and object or mass towards the Earth, it "pulls"
gravitational
friction
magnetism
push
12
Multiple Choice
_______ is the act of applying force to move something toward or with you
push
pull
gravity
friction
13
Multiple Choice
______ is a force of attraction that causes magnetic material to move
gravity
pull
push
magnetism
14
Multiple Choice
_______ is a force that acts in the opposite direction to movement between two surfaces that are in contact with one another
magnetism
pull
gravity
friction
15
Multiple Choice
_______ is the act of applying force to move something away
gravitational
magnetism
pull
push
16
Multiple Choice
_________ is the cause of change in the position and/or motion of an object
motion
force
action
direction
17
Multiple Choice
There are some ways objects in motion are affected. _______, or pushes and pulls, affect the motion of an object.
Forces
Positions
Motions
18
Multiple Choice
________ is the force that pulls objects down to Earth.
Friction
Magnetism
Gravity
Pushing
19
Multiple Choice
_______ is a force that slows things down or can even make them stop.
Gravity
Pulling
Pushing
Friction
20
Direction and Acceleration
Direction is a line or course along which something is moving
Acceleration is a measure of how quickly the velocity of an object changes.
Acceleration includes speeding up, slowing down, and changing direction.
21
Multiple Choice
Did you know acceleration means more than the increase of an object's speed? It also describes an object that is slowing down or changing __________.
force
direction
motion
velocity
22
Multiple Choice
Since acceleration is a change in speed or direction that means, ___________ is a change in velocity.
speed
acceleration
force
motion
