VAST Science Units
Force and Motion


The world is filled with motion. Some motion happens without human intervention: Earth revolves around the Sun, snowflakes fall to the ground, waves surge across the sea, salmon swim up rivers to fulfill their destinies. Other motions are under our control: clock hands faithfully monitor time, jet planes streak across the sky, baseballs fly over center field fences, bicycles race in the Tour de France. Both natural and designed motions are part of our perception of the world—there is nothing special about them. Welcome to force and motion. This is where you and your students will start to uncover explanations for why things work in the ways we expect them to work.
