Slow Your Roll
Students are presented with a real-world problem, the newly poured delivery ramp for the cafeteria is too slick, students are tasked with suggesting a surfacing that will increase the ramp's safety. Using a graphic organizer and working in small groups, with defined roles, students will design a hands-on investigation of friction observing how friction is different on different surfaces. The provided graphic organizer supports data collection, analysis, relevance, and conclusions. The assessment concludes with a short understanding interview between the teacher and the small student group.
