This document discusses concepts related to forces in nature including gravity, electricity, and magnetism as outlined in Georgia performance standards for 8th grade science. It provides links to standards documents and images related to gravity, circuits, and formulas for weight. Students are asked questions about series and parallel circuits and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

1. S8P5
Ms.Cohen

2. Content Standard
• S8P5. Students will recognize
characteristics of gravity, electricity, and
magnetism as major kinds of forces acting
in nature.

3. Technology Standard
Electricity!
• Creativity and Innovation
• Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and
develop innovative products and processes using technology.
Students:
• a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or
processes.
• b. create original works as a means of personal or group expression.

5. S8P5a. Recognize that every object exerts gravitational
force on every other object and that the force exerted
depends on how much mass the objects have and how
far apart they are.
