Learning Objectives Assessment

SWBAT - Graphic organizer
- Identify the balanced and unbalanced forces. - Balanced and unbalanced forces quiz (written and hands on)
- Plan and design a solution to the problem using simple machines. - KLEWS chart in groups
- Collaborate by validating their peers' ideas by completing a graphic organizer. - Draw a design of how to use simple machines in a tug-of-war
game.

Students are investigating how simple machines can
interact with other objects to change the forces in motion.
Students are planning and investigating how the forces
and motion in the game of tug-of-war can be changed by
using simple machines on the student-side.
Students are planning and investigating how changes to
the student-side of the tug-of-war game can affect the
teacher-side. So, by iplementing simple machines to the
student-side of tug-of-war, students will investigate the
cause and effect taht the simple machine has in the
tug-of-war system.
Students will see how simple machines can affect forces
and motion in a system. Students will see how
interactions with simple machines can cause a change in
forces and motion in a system (tug-of-war match).
