Curriculum Expectations

From the Common Framework of Science Learning Outcomes K-12, Pan-Canadian Protocol for Collaboration on School Curriculum, Council of Ministers of Education,
Canada (CMEC), 1997.

Grades 11/12: Force, Motion and Work

Skills

• work cooperatively with team members to develop and carry out a plan, and troubleshoot problems as they arise;

• select and use appropriate numeric, symbolic, graphical, and linguistic modes of representation to communicate ideas, plans, and results.

Science, Technology, Society and the Environment

• evaluate the design of a technology and the way it functions on the basis of a variety of criteria that they have identified themselves;

• analyse why and how a particular technology was developed and improved over time;

• analyse natural and technological systems to interpret and explain their structure and dynamics;

• describe and evaluate the design of technological solutions and the way they function, using scientific principles;

• analyse and describe examples where technologies were developed based on scientific understanding.

Knowledge

• analyse quantitatively the relationship among work, time, and power;

• analyse quantitatively the relationship among force, distance, and work;

• apply Newton's laws of motion to explain inertia, the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, and the interaction of forces between two objects;

• identify the frame of reference for a given motion.
