• MOME-12-326.02: apply quantitatively Newton"s laws of motion to impulse and momentum (Resources)
• MOME-12-326.05: describe quantitatively mechanical energy as the sum of kinetic and potential energies (Resources)
• MOME-12-326.06: analyse quantitatively problems related to kinematics and dynamics using the mechanical energy concept (Resources)
• MOME-12-115.01: distinguish between scientific questions and technological problems (e.g., distinguish between scientific questions such as "What is the law of conservation of energy?", and technological problems such as "How can we apply these concepts in the development of safety devices in cars?") (Resources)
• MOME-12-212.01: identify questions to investigate that arise from practical problems and issues (e.g., identify questions such as "How can we increase the efficiency of energy transformations?") (Resources)
• MOME-12-215.02: select and use appropriate numeric, symbolic, graphical, and linguistic modes of representation to communicate ideas, plans, and results (e.g., communicate the results of investigations demonstrating the law of conservation of energy or the relationship between kinetic and potential energies) (Resources)
• WORK-12-325.05: use vectors to represent force, velocity, and acceleration (Resources)
• WORK-12-325.06: analyse quantitatively the horizontal and vertical motion of a projectile (Resources)
• WORK-12-325.07: identify the frame of reference for a given motion (Resources)
• WORK-12-325.08: apply Newton"s laws of motion to explain inertia, the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, and the interaction of forces between two objects (Resources)
• WORK-12-325.09: analyse quantitatively the relationship among force, distance, and work (Resources)
• WORK-12-325.10: analyse quantitatively the relationship among work, time, and power (Resources)
• WORK-12-325.11: analyse quantitatively two-dimensional motion in a horizontal plane and a vertical plane (Resources)
• WORK-12-325.12: describe uniform circular motion, using algebraic and vector analysis (Resources)
• WORK-12-116.04: analyse and describe examples where technologies were developed based on scientific understanding (e.g., analyse examples such as rocket launchers and seat belts) (Resources)
• WORK-12-115.03: explain how a major scientific milestone revolutionized thinking in the scientific communities (e.g., explain how the contributions of Galileo, Descartes, and Newton increased our understanding of force and motion) (Resources)
