Essential Vocabulary & Concepts

Picture	Core Knowledge or Concept
	Weight (Mass * Acceleration due to gravity) is the measure of the force of gravity upon an object. (i.e. you weigh less on the moon, but your mass is the same.)
	The law of universal gravitation states that the force of gravity acts between all objects (matter) in the universe (everything, everywhere).
	Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards more massive things (like Earth). Gravity's strength varies by Distance: closer is stronger Mass: more mass has more gravity. On Earth's surface, things in freefall accelerate 9.8 m/s/s unless it is slowed by air resistance.
	Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that the net force of an object is equal to the net product of it acceleration and its mass. (i.e. a speeding car has more impact than a blowing leaf crashing into a wall) (Force = Mass * Acceleration)
	Free Body Diagrams: a standard diagram that shows all of the forces acting on an object. The object is a box at the center with arrows pointing towards it from the direction of each force.
	Scientist Albert Einstein was a mathematical genius who related time, space, gravity, and mass in his theories of special relativity (Time and space) and general relativity (gravity, space, and mass.) He also defined the speed of light as a universal speed limit and related energy and matter with e=mc².
	Technology Technical Drawings: communicate the measurements of things we build. Gravity Racers and the Technological Design Cycle
	Technology Pugh Charts: are used to check if a design meets the specifications (requirements) of a design. Usually used to compare designs (columns) against each specification (rows.)
