Chart for students with key information Teach kinematics because students can relate it to real life examples. Although the math can be challenging Students find being able to physically appreciate what’s happening helps the students engage with the subject. PS2. Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions HS-PS2-1. Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion is a mathematical model describing change in motion (the acceleration) of objects when acted on by a net force. HS-PS2-2. Use mathematical representations to show that the total momentum of a system of interacting objects is conserved when there is no net force on the system.
