MOTIONSpeedDistance divided by Time

(meters per second)Velocity

Speed in a given direction (meters per second, south)

AccelerationChange in velocity

(meters per second per second)

Graphing these conceptsFor example…

FORCES(A Push or a Pull)Types of Forces:

GravityFrictionNormalElastic

Compression Tension

Newton’s Laws of MotionFirst Law: Inertia

Second Law: F=MA Force = Mass times

Acceleration

Third Law: Action/Reaction

Density/BuoyancyDensity: The amount of matter in a given

volume of a substance.Density = mass divided by volume

Buoyancy: An upward force exerted on an object by the surrounding fluid.

Properties of MatterWays to describe matter; color, texture,

shape, size, temperature, etc.States of Matter:

Solids, Liquids, and GasesChanges in Matter:

Physical ChangesChemical Changes

Atomic StructureAtoms

Nucleus Protons Neutrons

Electrons

Acids & BasesCharacteristics of Acids:

-Taste Sour-Corrode metals-pH less than 7

Characteristics of Bases:-Taste Bitter-Feel Slippery-pH greater than 7

AstronomyAll of the Laws of Physics also apply in Space

so, what you’ve learned about the laws of Motion, Forces (gravity), Density, Buoyancy, Properties of Matter, Atomic Structure, and Acids & Bases help to fully understand the structure of the Universe.
