Five complete daily lessons, signed work and power calculator, work–energy investigation, two seven-round games, teacher guide, synthetic data and randomized practice. Your original journal remains below.
The same force can transfer different energy depending on distance and direction.
Learning target
Build an initial model and explanation for: How does work connect force, displacement, and speed change?
Evidence task
Record observations, questions, an initial model, and one claim that could be tested. Use these concepts where relevant: work; kinetic energy; system; transfer; joule.
Tuesday
Concept & Model Revision
Study and explain the week's core ideas: work; kinetic energy; system; transfer; joule
Reading
Open energy text.
Evidence task
Revise Monday's model. Add two evidence-backed annotations and explain one limitation or uncertainty.
Wednesday
Data & Quantitative Reasoning
W=Fd cosθ concept and KE calculations.
Evidence task
Show units, setup, calculation or graph reasoning, then write what the quantitative evidence can and cannot establish about: How does work connect force, displacement, and speed change?
Thursday
Investigation / Engineering
Ramp/cart simulation or safe low-energy object motion.
Safety boundary
Use the course safety charter. If supervision, facilities, materials, or conditions are not appropriate, use the supplied-data/simulation alternative rather than improvising hazardous procedures.
Evidence task
Record variables or design constraints, procedure/model, observations/data, and one revision you would make after reviewing the evidence.
Friday
CER / Synthesis
Answer the essential question: How does work connect force, displacement, and speed change?
Mastery evidence
Submit a claim, at least two specific pieces of evidence, reasoning that connects them, one limitation/counterclaim, and a correction note for any essential concept below 80%.
Portfolio
Select one artifact from this week and explain why it is trustworthy evidence of growth.
