Force and Motion Investigations

Pam O'Brien introduces the concept of force using everyday examples of pushing and pulling. She conducts two investigations: 'Make It Go' using a ramp and ball, and 'Go-Go-Go' using a rubber band and toy car, to explore how force affects movement. The video concludes with a challenge to viewers to create their own force-related experiment, emphasizing the wonder of science and exploration.

What is the main concept introduced in the video?

• Gravity

• Friction

• Energy

• Force

Which action is NOT an example of force mentioned in the introduction?

• Turning on a fan

• Pulling a chain

• Pushing a door

• Typing on a keyboard

What is the purpose of the 'Make it Go' investigation?

• To measure the speed of a car

• To explore the effects of force on motion

• To calculate the weight of a box

• To determine the height of a ramp

In the 'Make it Go' investigation, what is used to create an incline?

• A large notebook

• A rubber band

• A small box

• A paper clip

Why is it important to conduct an investigation more than once?

• To increase the difficulty

• To make it more fun

• To ensure consistent results

• To use more materials

What change is made in the second part of the 'Make it Go' investigation?

• The size of the box

• The height of the ramp

• The amount of force applied

• The type of ball used

What is the main material used in the 'Go-Go-Go' investigation?

• A ball

• A notebook

• A rubber band

• A book

How is the distance measured in the 'Go-Go-Go' investigation?

• Using a pencil

• Using a paper clip

• Using a ruler

• Using a string

What is the relationship explored in the 'Go-Go-Go' investigation?

• Between the force applied and distance traveled

• Between the size of the car and distance

• Between the color of the car and speed

• Between the type of rubber band and speed

What challenge is given at the end of the video?

• To create a new type of car

• To design a new ramp

• To come up with a new investigation involving force
