Standards: HS-PS2-1 — Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration. HS-PS3-1 — Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known.

Resource type: Guided Notes. Format: editable Microsoft Word file plus a ready-to-print PDF.

Classroom use: Have students complete the notes during the slide show or as an independent reading activity, then review with the answer key. Built for high school Physics, grades 9–12.
