Sample Assessment
Questions:
1. Some students
attach a balloon to a
straw and then tape
the straw to the top of
a toy car. The students
inflate the balloon and
release the car. The car
travels
40 centimeters across
the floor.
*3.6(C) observe forces such
as magnetism and gravity
acting on objects.
*4.6(D) design an
experiment to test the effect
of force on an object such as
a push or a pull, gravity,
friction, or magnetism
5. What should the
students do to
determine whether
the force of the air
from a balloon is
enough to push the
car 40 centimeters
across the same floor
in repeated trials?
