Forces that do not sum to zero can cause changes in the object’s speed or direction of motion.  (Boundary: Qualitative and conceptual, but not quantitative addition of forces is used at this level). The patterns of an object’s motion in various situations can be observed and measured; when that past motion exhibits a regular pattern, future motion can be predicted from it.

Elaboration on the GLE:

							
									</em></p>

										<ol type="1">

																			<li>Students can answer the questions: How can one predict an object’s continued motion, changes in motion or stability?  What underlying forces explain the variety of interactions observed?</li>
																			<li>PS2:A Forces and Motion: Each force acts on one particular object and has both strength and a direction. An object at rest typically has multiple forces acting on it, but they add to give zero net force on the object. Forces that do not sum to zero can cause changes in the object’s speed or direction of motion.  (Boundary: Qualitative and conceptual, but not quantitative addition of forces is used at this level). The patterns of an object’s motion in various situations can be observed and measured; when that past motion exhibits a regular pattern, future motion can be predicted from it. (Boundary: Technical terms, such as magnitude, velocity, momentum and vector quantity, are not introduced at this level, but the concept that some quantities need both size and direction to be described is developed.)</li>
																			<li>PS2:B Types of Interactions: Objects in contact exert forces on each other.</li>

										<ol type="a">

																			<li>Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. (Students need not use formal terms for these properties.) <i>Examples: If \(6 \times 4 = 24\) is known, then \(4 \times 6 = 24\) is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) \(3 \times 5 \times 2\) can be found by \(3 \times 5 = 15\), then \(15 \times 2 = 30\), or by \(5 \times 2 = 10\), then \(3 \times 10 = 30\). (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that \(8 \times 5 = 40\) and \(8 \times 2 = 16\), one can find \(8 \times 7\) as \(8 \times \left(5 + 2\right) = \left(8 \times 5\right) + \left(8 \times 2\right) = 40 + 16 = 56\). (Distributive property.)</i> (CCSS: 3.OA.B.5)</li>
