QCC Strand: Grade 5 Physical Science—Motion / Force / Simple Machines
Topic 10: Motion/Force/ Machines
Standard: Differentiates between and demonstrates examples of potential and kinetic energy
Topic 11: Motion/Force/Machines
Standard: Explains and infers with everyday examples that objects in motion stay in motion and
those at rest stay at rest. Uses common objects such as balls or rolling cars to demonstrate.
Topic 14: Motion/Force/Machines
Standard: Describes changes in rate of speed. Demonstrates that change in velocity is evidence that
acceleration has occurred
Topic 15: Motion/Force/Machines
Standard: Investigates the force of gravity. Describes gravity as a force that changes depending on
the distance between two objects and difference in their masses
