Name:________________________________________________________________Date:______________________Period:______
Ch. 5- Newtons Laws of Motion
Directions: Place a level of understanding, as aligned to the rubric, for each assessment that provides an opportunity to practice
a given learning target.
4 I completely understand all concepts and I can fully explain them to my peers with supporting examples and with correct
scientific language.
3 I understand most concepts, but I need to practice more so I can explain them to others with supporting examples & with
correct scientific language.
2 I am starting to understand most of these concepts. I need more help from someone.
1 I do not understand these concepts. I need extra help.

5.1
5.2

I can demonstrate Newtons 1st Law in order to

explain how net force affects moving &
nonmoving objects.
I can mathematically relate force, mass, and
acceleration using Newtons 2nd Law.

5.4

I can describe the magnitude & direction of

forces that objects exert on each other using
Newtons 3rd Law.
I can create a free-body diagram to resolve
the components of forces.

5.5

I can describe the direction of normal force in

relation to an object.

5.3

5.7

I can mathematically demonstrate the

relationship between the weight of an object
and its mass.
I can use Hookes Law to find the force
exerted by a stretched or compressed spring.

5.8

I can calculate the tension of a string attached

to an object at rest.

5.9

I can explain the conditions in which an object

is at rest and use a free-body to represent it
visually.

I can demonstrate how kinetic friction is

affected by the normal force through
calculations.
I can perform calculations to show that static
friction is usually greater than the force of
kinetic friction.
