Monday

Phenomenon / Launch

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.
