Fifth Graders,

Today we will simulate the effects that different forces have on motion.  Using the websites below, work through the lessons carefully.  Pay attention to what happens when you change something in an experiment. 

1. Friction

• Read about friction by clicking here.  You may take notes if you find that helpful.
• Complete the simulation below.  Before you run each experiment, predict what will happen next. 

• Complete the quiz and print out your results page to use as a study guide.

2.  Forces in Action

• Read about the different forces by clicking here.  You may take notes if you find this helpful.
• Complete the simulation below.  Before you run each experiment, predict what will happen next. 

• Complete the quiz and print out the results to use as a study guide.

When you are done, leave a comment on this post about what you did today.  Did you find it helpful?  I certainly hope so!

Smiles,
Mrs. B 🙂
