A student designed an investigation to test force and motion. The chart shows the time it took a ball to fall to the ground when released from different heights.

During which trial was the ball dropped from the greatest height? (MRS: Modified Whip Around)

The diagram shows a parachute that students used during an investigation. As they performed different trials, students changed the number of washers the parachute carried and measured the amount of time it took the parachute to fall to the ground.

Based on the student observations, which force was responsible for the parachute falling to the ground? (MRS: Quick Response)

A student designs an investigation to explore how the strength of a magnet affects the number of paper clips it can attract. He places 50 iron paper clips in a cup and selects two magnets to investigate. The results of the investigation are shown below.

Which of the following conclusions can be made about the strength of each magnet based on the information above? (MRS: Think-Pair-Share)

A student designs an investigation to test how different variables affect the distance a golf ball will travel when rolled down a ramp. To test the effect of gravity, the student should — (MRS: Table Talk)

A student set up the investigation shown.

What is the student most likely investigating? (MRS: Think-Pair-Share)

A student is investigating how different road surfaces affect the distance a toy car will travel. The results of the investigation are shown in the table.

Which force is the student investigating? (Modified Whip Around)

Which of the following is an example of friction?

Look at the picture of the child on a swing.

When a student stands behind and pushes the child, the swing will —

Students are conducting an investigation where they test how the force of magnetism can cause objects to move. They have the objects shown below to choose from when setting up their investigation.  

Select the 2 the objects that the students would be able to move using the force of magnetism.
