K-Forces and Interactions: Pushes and Pulls

(1)	S.K.PS.2.1	Students who demonstrate understanding can plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.
(1)	S.K.PS.2.2	Students who demonstrate understanding can analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.

How can pushing an object change the speed of it's motion?

How can pulling an object change the speed of it's motion?

What are the different strengths and directions of pushes?

What are the different strengths and directions of pulls?

How can a push or pull move an object that usually does not move?

How can we make an object speed up or slow down?

When objects touch or collide, how does the motion change?
