Option B requires students to apply their knowledge of momentum and inertia to explain how objects move, which involves higher-level thinking skills such as analysis and evaluation. Option A is a lower-level objective as it only asks students to describe the laws. Option C is also a lower-level objective as it only requires students to take notes. Option D is a mix of a lower and medium-level objective as it requires students to memorize formulas, but does not necessarily require them to apply them in a higher-level context.
