Historically, scientific events have had significant impacts on our cultural heritage. SC8.3.1 Students explore the nature and history of science. • Students explore how scientific knowledge changes and grows over time, and impacts personal and social decisions. • Students explore the historical use of scientific information to make personal and social decisions. SC8.3.2 Students explore how scientific information is used to make decisions. • The role of science in solving personal, local, and national problems. • Interdisciplinary connections of the sciences, connections to other subject areas, careers in science/technical fields. • Origins and conservation of natural resources, including Wyoming examples. relates to Science and Technology: Understandings about science and technology Identify Appropriate problems for technological design Design a solution or a product Implement a proposed design Evaluate completed technological designs or products Rational: Science and Technology is addressed through inquiry based lessons and the roller coaster project, Science in Personal and Social Perspectives: Risk Benefits Personal Health Rational: We look extensively at the risks, consequence and mitigation of driving and accidents. supported by Roller Coaster Project Description: Students work in team to build a roller coaster illustrating motion, acceleration and Newton's laws.

Inquiry is the foundation for the development of content, teaching students the use of processes of science that enable them to construct and develop their own knowledge. Inquiry requires appropriate field, classroom, and laboratory experiences with suitable facilities and equipment. SC8.2.1 Students research scientific information and present findings through appropriate means. SC8.2.2 Students use inquiry to conduct scientific investigations. • Ask questions that lead to conducting an investigation. • Collect, organize, and analyze and appropriately represent data. • Draw conclusions based on evidence and make connections to applied scientific concepts. • Clearly and accurately communicate the result of the investigations. SC8.2.3 Students clearly and accurately communicate the result of their own work, as well as information obtained from other sources. SC8.2.4 Students recognize the relationship between science and technology in meeting human needs.

That motion can be measured and represented on a graph. An object that is not being subjected to a force will continue to move at a constant speed and in a straight line. If more than one force acts on an object along a straight line, then the forces will reinforce or cancel one another, depending on their direction and magnitude. Unbalanced forces will cause changes in the speed or direction of an object's motion.
