Learners will explain how forces cause energy transfer and describe how speed, mass, and collisions affect the amount of energy transferred between objects.
investigate and explain how equal and unequal forces acting on an object cause patterns of motion and transfer of energy; and
design a simple experimental investigation that tests the effect of force on an object in a system such as a car on a ramp or a balloon rocket on a string.
