Standard PHYS.1.2 - Use mathematics and computational thinking to support the claim that the total momentum of a system is conserved when there is no net force acting on the system. Emphasize the quantitative conservation of momentum in interactions and the qualitative meaning of this principle. Examples could include one-dimensional elastic or inelastic collisions between objects within the system. (PS2.A)

● I can explore the conservation of

momentum in a variety of situations.

● I can understand that rockets can move in space using recoil.
