UNDERSTANDING FORCES (Force, Motion & Gravity) QUIZ:

Keywords: 'unbalanced forces', 'gravity', 'simple machines', 'fair test', Inertia

THIS IS A QUIZ - IT IS NOT A TEST

The purpose of the QUIZ is to encourage students to research answers for themselves and then have an opportunity to get guidance from their friends and from their teacher.

Questions are designed to encourage students to:

  1. Explore and describe forces and motion
  2. Explore and describe gravity’s effect on an object
  3. Experiment and observe the effect that different-sized forces have on objects
  4. Ask BIG questions

Concepts such as stationary and moving objects, and forces are explained:

Forces transfer energy to objects and it is the energy (movement or kinetic energy) that enables objects to move.

Getting Started:

When starting out, students are NOT expected to be able to answer many of the QUIZ questions correctly - if any at all.

As the course progresses and knowledge increases, students will have additional opportunities to test their new understanding about each of the questions.

Parents and teachers may point students to related information; do not tell them the answers.
