Actual Motion
Planetary objects, Small bodies, Gravity:
-Position of an object can be described (K-4)
-An object's motion can be described (K-4)
-Change in motion is caused by pushing or pulling (K-4)
-Light travels in a straight line (K-4)
-Motion can be described from an objects position and direction and speed (5-8)
-Objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motion (5-8)
-Gravity is the force that keeps objects in orbits around the sun and the rest of the motion in the solar system. (5-8)
-Laws of motion can be calculated precisely by knowing the effects of forces on objects (9-12)
-Objects in the universe are in motion and have been since the "big bang" (9-12)
