Forces/Motion
7.P.1 Understand motion, the effects of forces on motion and the graphical representations of motion.
7.P.1.1 Explain how the motion of an object can be described by its position, direction of motion, and speed with respect to some other object.
Energy: Conservation and Transfer
7.P.2 Understand forms of energy, energy transfer and transformation and conservation in mechanical systems.
7.P.2.1 Explain how kinetic and potential energy contribute to the mechanical energy of an object.
7.P.2.3 Recognize that energy can be transferred from one system to another when two objects push or pull on each other over a distance (work) and electrical circuits require a complete loop through which an electrical current can pass.
