Skills
- ask questions (about relationships between objects) #dok2
- determine cause and effect (of electric interactions) #dok2
- determine cause and effect (of magnetic interactions) #dok2
- analyze interactions (when objects are not in contact) #dok3
- distinguish types of forces (electric, magnetic, contact vs. non-contact) #dok2
Learning Targets
- I can ask questions to explore the cause and effect relationships between two objects that are not touching. #dok2
- I can determine how electric forces can cause objects to interact without touching. #dok2
- I can determine how magnetic forces can cause objects to interact without touching. #dok2
- I can analyze the effects of non-contact forces between objects. #dok3
- I can distinguish between contact and non-contact interactions of objects. #dok2
Big Ideas
- Electric and magnetic forces can act between objects even when they are not in contact.
- Understanding cause and effect helps explain how objects interact through forces that do not involve direct contact.
Essential Questions
- How can objects interact without touching each other?
- What are examples of electric and magnetic forces acting at a distance?
- How do we know if a force is a contact or non-contact force?
- What causes a magnetic or electric force to occur between objects?
- How do cause and effect relationships help us explain these interactions?
