Students will be able to

know that quantities can be scalars or vectors,
know that a scalar quantity is defined by a magnitude and a unit,
know some examples of basic scalar quantities: mass, length, and time,
know that a vector quantity is defined by a magnitude, a unit, and a direction,
know some examples of basic vector quantities: force, acceleration, velocity, and displacement.
