SCIENCE UNIT 2 CH 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| VOCAB: An event or process that leads to a result or change | Cause |
| VOCAB: A result or change that happens because of an event or process | Effect |
| VOCAB: Speed in a particular direction | Velocity |
| VOCAB: A push or pull that can change the motion of an object | Force |
| VOCAB: To apply a force | Exert |
| VOCAB: A force between an object and the surface it is moving over | Friction |
| VOCAB: The energy that an object has because it is moving | Kinetic Energy |
| VOCAB: The energy that an object has because of its place or position | Potential Energy |
| VOCAB: To reach a conclusion using evidence and reasoning | Infer |
| What are the five ways an object's velocity can change? | 1. Start Moving 2. Speed Up 3. Slow Down 4. Stop 5. Change Direction |
| Start Moving=________________________ | Push the object in any direction |
| Speed Up=________________________ | Push the object in the same direction |
| Slow Down=________________________ | Push the object in the opposite direction |
| Stop=________________________ | Push the object in the opposite direction |
| Change Direction=________________________ | Push the object in the opposite direction |
| The stronger the force acting upon an object, the stronger the change in _______________________ of that object. | velocity |
| An object sliding across the a carpet slows down quicker than bare floor, because the carpet exerts more ________________________________. | friction |
| Think back to our space pod. The thrusters fire to exert a force in the ___________________________ as the motion of the pod, causing it to stop. | opposite direction |
| Think back to our space pod. If the thrusters fired and caused the pod to move in the opposite direction, the thrusters exerted a _____________________ force than in other missions. | stronger |
| Think back to our space pod. If the thrusters fired and caused the pod to crash into the space station, the thrusters exerted a ________________________ force than in other missions. | weaker |
| Claim 1 States, “The thrusters on the pod caused the pod to move in the opposite direction.” Using force, velocity, exert, and cause, explain! | The thrusters on the pod exerted more force than in usual pod missions. This caused the velocity of the pod to change direction. |
| Claim 2 States, “The thrusters only slowed the pod, it didn’t stop; the pod hit the space station, which made it bounce and move in the opposite direction.” Using force, velocity, exert, and cause explain! | The thrusters on the pod exerted less force than in usual pod missions. This caused the velocity of the pod it slow down and bounce off the space station. |
