Final Project! For this assignment we will combine everything you have learned about Force and Motion. You can work on your own or with two group of 2 or other 3 people. 1.Set up the game “Mouse Trap” and observe the forces, motion, waves, and simple machines involved in the game. 2. Once you have observed the game you can use this site to do further observation and note taking  Prepare a poster or report to record your findings. You must identify and explain following in your project: Describe the motion of 2 different objects and the forces that cause the items to move, change direction, and stop. Find 2 simple machines and identify the force used to operate each Explain why the block/man on the seesaw was launched into the basket o Would he still be launched if the large ball was replaced with the small ball? Explain the “net force” of one moving object Find 1 example of push Find 1 example of a wave Find 2 examples of gradient Find 3 examples of gravity

Final Assessment! 1.Compare and contrast (using a Venn Diagram) two different forces of your choice (I.e. gravity, friction, pushes, pulls, etc.). 2. Write one paragraph arguing for or against the need for gravity. Support your argument with at least 3 facts. 3. Define net force in your own words and explain its effect. 4. Visualize yourself at the top of a hill on your bicycle. You start to pedal downhill…you go faster…and faster…and faster! Identify three kinds of force that will affect your downhill adventure.

Final Assessment! 5. Explain the relationship between mass, force, and acceleration. 6. Describe the effect friction, wind resistance, and pushes have on a skateboarder. 7. List two facts you learned the past few days that you found the most interesting and would like to learn more about. 8. Choose either Galileo or Sir Isaac Newton and explain what they discovered and why their discovery was important. © Olivia Cason

Thank you for your hard work and dedication! Next week we will begin our study on “The Processes that Shape the Earth.” I am happy to announce that you have now successfully completed an entire unit on Force and Motion! During the last few weeks you have worked very hard, visited a lot of great websites, answered a lot of questions, and hopefully really developed an understanding for force and motion….and now….. © Olivia Cason

BENCHMARKSWEBSITES SC.C understands that the motion of an object can be described and measured. Measuring Motion SC.C knows that an object may move in a straight line at a constant speed, speed up, slow down, or change direction dependent on net force acting on the object. Pushes and Gradients Net Force SC.C knows that the more massive an object is, the less effect a given force has. More Force, More Acceleration Force of Wonder SC.C knows that the motion of an object is determined by the overall effect of all of the forces acting on the object.
