Essential question: How do force, momentum, and energy models complement one another?
A complex motion can simplify when viewed through center of mass and system models.
Build an initial model and explanation for: How do force, momentum, and energy models complement one another?
Record observations, questions, an initial model, and one claim that could be tested. Use these concepts where relevant: center of mass; model choice; conservation; external force.
Study and explain the week's core ideas: center of mass; model choice; conservation; external force
Student portfolio evidence.
Revise Monday's model. Add two evidence-backed annotations and explain one limitation or uncertainty.
Mixed mechanics modeling and uncertainty.
Show units, setup, calculation or graph reasoning, then write what the quantitative evidence can and cannot establish about: How do force, momentum, and energy models complement one another?
Integrated mechanics investigation or simulation.
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.
Record variables or design constraints, procedure/model, observations/data, and one revision you would make after reviewing the evidence.
Answer the essential question: How do force, momentum, and energy models complement one another?
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%.
Select one artifact from this week and explain why it is trustworthy evidence of growth.
