Define It
This is described as an object's direction and speed.
What is motion?

What is kinetic energy?
A tool that measures the volume of a water bottle.
What is a graduated cylinder?
This describes how fast an object is moving.
What is speed?

What is if,then?
A push or a pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change speed or direction.
What is force?
a car accelerating towards the finish line, a turtle slowly winning the race, a hare stopping for a rest.
What is speed?
A tool that measures the mass of an object.
What is a balance scale?
A force that creates heat and opposes an objects motion.
What is friction?
What is being measured?
If a car travels down a ramp covered in carpet, then the car will not travel that far.
What is friction and distance?
The energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
a car crashing into another and spinning around, a roller coaster climbing up the first hill, a ball falling to the ground.

What is potential energy?
pushing a heavy box across the floor, pulling a wagon, swinging on a tire swing.
What is force?
This tool measures units in grams.
What is a balance scale?

What is an object at rest?
What is being measured?
If a car accelerates on the way down a ramp, then it will take longer to stop.
What is speed and length of time?
The combination of all the forces acting on an object.
What is net force?

What is gravity?
This tool measures units in liters.
What is a graduated cylinder?
The greater the _____ of an object, the less effect a force will have on it.
What is mass?
What is being measured?
If the ramp is taller, then the car will travel farther.
