Section outline

  • Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • Identify forces that are related to moving objects, and apply them to their use on boats
    • Measure forces and explain how these values influence movement

    Activities:

    1. Intro to Forces -- brainstorm forces, research definitions and examples, create a reference poster to use later 
    2. Investigate forces - learn how to use a force meter, measure the forces required to break string
    3. Investigation forces -- make a hovercraft (investigating lift and gravity) and pulley systems (investigating gravity) 

    Homework:
    Upload your forces poster to Google Classroom
