Enrichment Homework
  • Next Generation Science Standards:
    • PS2.A: Forces and Motion
      Pushes and pulls can have different strengths and directions.
      Pushing or pulling on an object can change the speed or direction of its motion and can start or stop it.
    • PS2.B: Types of Interactions
      When objects touch or collide, they push on one another and can change motion.
    • PS3.C: Relationship Between Energy and Forces
      A bigger push or pull makes things speed up or slow down more quickly. (secondary)
  • Washington State Health and PE Standards:
    • H1.Sa1.Ka
      Identify safety hazards in the home.
