# S2P2: Forces and Object Motion

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the effect of a force (a push or a pull) in the movement of an object (changes in speed and direction).

- Subject: Science
- Appears in: Grade 2, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/science/grade-2.md

## Expectations

- **S2P2.a**: Plan and carry out an investigation to demonstrate how pushing and pulling on an object affects the motion of the object.
- **S2P2.b**: Design a device to change the speed or direction of an object.
- **S2P2.c**: Record and analyze data to decide if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a force (a push or a pull).

## Georgia Milestones coverage

No Georgia Milestones blueprint cites this standard.
