Alignment to Standards for UT
| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | SC-3.III | Students will understand the relationship between the force applied to an object and resulting motion of the object. |
| 3 | SC-3.III.1 | Demonstrate how forces cause changes in speed or direction of objects. |
| 3 | SC-3.III.1a. | Show that objects at rest will not move unless a force is applied to them. |
| 3 | SC-3.III.1b. | Compare the forces of pushing and pulling. |
| 3 | SC-3.III.1c. | Investigate how forces applied through simple machines affect the direction and/or amount of resulting force. |
| 3 | SC-3.III.2 | Demonstrate that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater the change in speed or direction of the object. |
| 3 | SC-3.III.2a. | Predict and observe what happens when a force is applied to an object (e.g., wind, flowing water). |
| 3 | SC-3.III.2b. | Compare and chart the relative effects of a force of the same strength on objects of different weight (e.g., the breeze from a fan will move a piece of paper but may not move a piece of cardboard). |
| 3 | SC-3.III.2c. | Compare the relative effects of forces of different strengths on an object (e.g., strong wind affects an object differently than a breeze). |
| 3 | SC-3.III.2d. | Conduct a simple investigation to show what happens when objects of various weights collide with one another (e.g., marbles, balls). |
| 3 | SC-3.III.2e. | Show how these concepts apply to various activities (e.g., batting a ball, kicking a ball, hitting a golf ball with a golf club) in terms of force, motion, speed, direction, and distance (e.g. slow, fast, hit hard, hit soft). |
| 3 | SC-3.IV.1 | Demonstrate that gravity is a force. |
| 3 | SC-3.IV.1a. | Demonstrate that a force is required to overcome gravity. |
| 3 | SC-3.IV.1b. | Use measurement to demonstrate that heavier objects require more force than lighter ones to overcome gravity. |
| 3 | SC-3.IV.2 | Describe the effects of gravity on the motion of an object. |
| 3 | SC-3.IV.2a. | Compare how the motion of an object rolling up or down a hill changes with the incline of the hill. |
| 3 | SC-3.IV.2b. | Observe, record, and compare the effect of gravity on several objects in motion (e.g., a thrown ball and a dropped ball falling to Earth). |
| 3 | SC-3.IV.2c. | Pose questions about gravity and forces. |
| 3 | SC-3.V.3b. | Compare relative differences in the amount of heat given off or force required to move an object over lubricated/non_lubricated surfaces and smooth/rough surfaces (e.g., waterslide with and without water, hands rubbing together with and without lotion). |
