Progress Monitoring 1

Flashcards for Science Progress Monitoring Tool Quarter 1 Assessment Grade 5

Forces acting on a paper airplane

Throwing the plane is a push, air pushes up, and gravity pulls down.

Energy transformation in pencil sharpeners

Old sharpener: Mechanical energy to gears. New sharpener: Electrical energy to gears, both generate heat and sound.

Relationship between mass and distance

Lighter boxes move further when pushed with the same force.

Experiment

An investigation with controlled variables using evidence.

Circuit requirements for lighting bulbs simultaneously

All switches must be closed.

Energy transformations in appliances

Blender: Electrical to mechanical. Toaster: Electrical to heat. Microwave: Electrical to light and heat.

Cause of hair standing up near balloons

Hair and balloons have the same electrical charge and repel each other.

Effect of increased force on swing motion

More force causes the swing to have more motion.

Material for a switch

A metal paperclip.

Investigation question

How does the force of friction affect the movement of the wagon?

Completing a circuit

Connect the wire from battery to buzzer or motor so both the buzzer and motor will work.

Relationship between force and distance

The more force applied, the further the box moves.

Balanced forces

Forces that are equal and opposite, resulting in no movement (e.g., Tug-of-War with flag not moving).

Observation

A description using your five senses.

Energy causing change

Energy is needed to cause changes in motion (e.g., The ball moved the cap away from the player when it was hit).

Safe material

Rubber.

Claim and Evidence

The cup rolls farther when it is placed on its side at the end of a coaster.

Interaction of objects with same charge

The balloons will repel each other because they have the same charge.

Movement based on unequal forces

The wagon will move towards the side with more force.

The need for more trials

More trials would have given more data, which allows scientists to find patterns and trends in the data.
