UNIT 5: MOTION
7.P.1.1 (Describing Motion) Explain how the motion of an object can be described by its position, direction of motion, and speed with respect to some other object.

UNIT 7: ENERGY
7.P.2.1 (Energy) Explain how kinetic and potential energy contribute to the mechanical energy of an object
- -Essential Vocabulary 7.P.2.1
7.P.2.2 (Energy: Conservation and Transfer) Explain how energy can be transformed from one form to another (specifically potential energy and kinetic energy) using a model or diagram of a moving object (ex. roller coaster, pendulum, or cars on ramps)
- -Essential Vocabulary 7.P.2.2
7.P.2.3 (Energy: Conservation and Transfer) 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.
- -Essential Vocabulary 7.P.2.3
7.P.2.4 (Energy: Conservation and Transfer) Explain how simple machines such as inclined planes, pulleys, levers and wheel and axles are used to create mechanical advantage and increase efficiency.
