Benchmark Objectives
• SC.5.P.13.1 – Identify familiar forces that cause objects to
move, such as pushes or pulls, including gravity on falling
objects. AA
• SC.5.P.13.2 – Investigate and describe that the greater the
force applied to it, the greater the change in motion of a
given object. AA
• SC.5.P.13.3 –Investigate and describe that the more mass
an object has, the less effect a given force will have on
the object’s motion.
• SC.5.P.13.4 –Investigate and explain that when a force is
applied to an object but it does not move, it is because
another opposing force is being applied by something in
the environment so that the forces are balanced.

FORCE & MOTION
What is MOTION?
• Always a change in the position of an object.
• Sometimes it may involve a change in
direction, too.
What changes motion?
• Motion of an object changes when a force
acts upon the object.
• An object remains in motion, or at rest,
unless a force acts on it.
Object at rest
Object in motion

What are forces?
Gravity
Friction
Air Resistance
A push or a pull
Balanced Forces
Versus
Unbalanced Forces
Types of Motion
•
•
•
•
Move in a straight line.
Move in a curved path.
Move back and forth.
Move at different speeds.
Measurement Tools for Motion

Earth
Factors that Determine Motion
• Amount of force
• Mass of the object
• Change in speed
(acceleration)
