Science TEKS 5.7B The student is expected to design a simple experimental investigation that tests the effect of force on an object in a system such as a car on a ramp or a balloon rocket on a string.
Key Points
Students need to understand forces, but this standard is so much more than that. They need to apply their knowledge of force to conduct and analyze experimental investigations.
The nitty-gritty of the standard is:
- understanding force, gravity, magnetism, and friction
- testing the effects of force on an object in a system
- applying knowledge of forces to experimental investigations
- identifying independent, dependent, and controlled variables (constants)
