Organizing Data Students organize and describe data (e.g., via tables, graphs, charts, vector drawings) that represents: ● the net force on an object, its mass (which is held constant), and its acceleration (e.g., via tables, graphs, charts, vector drawings). Identifying Relationships Students use tools, technologies, and/or models to analyze the data and identify and describe relationships in the datasets, including: ● How different masses experiencing the same net force accelerate differently. ● How different net forces on a given object produce different accelerations. ● How gravitation is a constant acceleration as evidenced by the fact that the ratio of net force to mass remains constant. Interpreting Data Students use the analyzed data as: ● Evidence to describe that the relationship between the observed quantities is accurately modeled across the range of data by the formula a = Fnet/m (e.g., double force yields double acceleration, etc.). ● Empirical evidence to distinguish between causal and correlational relationships linking force, mass, and acceleration. ● Empirical evidence to express the relationship Fnet=ma in terms of causality, namely that a net force on an object causes the object to accelerate.
