3. Differentiate between the use of the terms “law” and “theory” as they are
defined and used in science compared to how they are used in other
disciplines or common use. (DOK 1-2)
4. Use technology to perform calculations and to organize, analyze and report
data. (DOK 1-2)
DRIVING THE ROADS –
INQUIRY QUESTIONS
• Why is reaction time critical to avoid accidents while driving?
• How does understanding the Laws of Motion create a safer and/or
more dangerous world?
• How is automobile speed related to stopping or braking distance?
• Why is it important to slow down when going around curves?
• How can forces be acting on an object without changing the object’s
motion?
• Why do equal but opposite action and reaction forces not cancel?

also increases.

3. Same position means same
speed.
DRIVING THE ROADS – CONTENT STANDARDS
Newton’s Laws of Motion and Gravitation describe relationships among forces acting
on and between objects, their masses, and changes in their motion — but have
limitations. (SC09-GR.HS-S.1-GLE.1)
a. Gather, analyze, and interpret data and create graphs regarding moving
objects’ positions, velocity, and acceleration.
b. Develop, communicate, and justify evidence-based analyses of forces acting
on objects and resultant accelerations produced by net forces.
c.
Develop, communicate, and justify evidence-based scientific predictions
regarding effects of action-reaction force pairs on the motion of two
interacting objects.
d. Examine effect of changing masses and distances when applying Newton’s
Law of Universal Gravitation to a system of two bodies.
e. Identify limitations of Newton’s laws in extreme situations.

How can you measure reaction time using a timer(s)?
Two Stop watches
Start both at the same time (experimenter)
Hand one to a partner (lab rat)
Experimenter says “stop” and stops timer at the same
time
Lab rat hears “stop” and stops the 2nd timer
(Lab rat reaction time) =
(Lab rat time) – (experimenter time)
REACTION TIME: STOPWATCHES
How can you measure reaction time using a ruler?
• Experimenter holds a ruler from the 30 cm end
• Lab rat positions thumb and index finder at 0 cm end
of ruler, NOT TOUCHING the ruler and ready to catch
it when released
• Experimenter releases ruler without warning
• Lab rat catches the ruler as quickly as possible
• You reaction time is actually a reaction distance???
