↓Forces (SC.5.P.13.1 & SC.5.P.13.3)↓
❶ You have tied one end of a string to a paper clip and taped the other end of the string to your desk. You experimented with lifting the paper clip and string off the desk using a magnet. You found that the magnet could lift the paper clip without touching it. <click here to see image> What is an explanation of the forces acting on the paper clip? Are the forces balanced or unbalanced? How can you tell?
Answer =>
❷ <This picture> shows two bar magnets set down next to each other. Write an explanation of what you would expect to happen if they magnets were moved closer together. Also, who would you get these magnets to repel each other?

↓Changes in Motion (SC.5.P.13.2 & SC.5.P.13.4)↓
❺ Madison and her father went grocery shopping on a very windy day. As Madison pushed a shopping cart from the parking lot to the grocery store, the wind pushed the shopping cart sideways and made it hard to steer. Madison predicted that the cart would be easier to steer after they left the store with their groceries. Explain why would the cart be easier to steer after shopping?
Answer =>
❻ While on a camping trip, Shane and Katie are traveling in a boat on a river. On their trip, the river's current carries them down the river at a speed of 5 meters per second (m/s). They don't need to row because the current is carrying them in the direction they need to go. If no other forces are acting on the boat, describe the motion of the boat as it travels downstream?
Answer =>
❼ Julia rides to school in her mother's car sometimes and in her father's car other times. It takes her less time to travel the same distance in her mother's car than in her father's car. Give an explanation as to why this happens.
Answer =>
❽ Philip is playing tug of war with Nancy. They both understand that to win the game of tug of war, one player must pull the flag over their opponent's line, but during this particular game, the flag tied to the center of the rope is not moving. Describe what is happening to the rope in this example.
