Meeting the NGSS: Net Force
COURSE DESCRIPTIONNewton’s 2nd Law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass and its acceleration. In this module will explore how data analysis and mathematical modeling promote a deep understanding of Newton’s 2nd Law.

Skills:
Mindset: Teachers believe that students develop a deep understanding of physics and its laws through data collection and analysis, including the creation of student-developed models which can be tested and confirmed in the classroom/lab.
Knowledge:
- Newton’s 2nd Law accurately predicts changes in the motion of macroscopic objects (DCI PS2.A).
- Strategies for data analysis including use of tools, technologies, and mathematical/computational modeling of Newton’s 2nd Law.
Skills:
- Teachers will be able to identify the disciplinary core ideas (DCI), crosscutting concepts, and engineering practices that make up NGSS performance standard HS-PS2-1.
- Teachers will be able to select effective strategies which develop the following NGSS Science and Engineering Practice: Analyze data using tools, technologies, and/or models (e.g. computational, mathematical) in order to make valid and reliable scientific claims or determine an optimal design solution.
