Show what you know about motion and unbalanced forces. Write a story about a life event that meaningfully integrates the following science vocabulary words.
Frame of reference
distance
displacement
speed
balanced forces
unbalanced forces
Here is an example:
I love to ride my bike on the Ghost Town trail, and I couldn't do it without motion and force. Just remaining balanced on my bike requires balanced forces. I must remain steady on my seat and not lean too far to the right or left. Once I am on my bike, unbalanced forces get me moving. I have to push down hard on the pedal to overcome friction and gain speed. Once I am moving, I use much less force on the pedal to keep moving, just enough to balance the force of friction.
The path that I follow from Vintondale to Dilltown is not a straight one, the path gently curves as it follows the path of the Blacklick Creek. I cover a distance of 3.5 miles, even though the towns are less than 3 miles apart if you draw a straight line on a map. I use the bike path gates as a frame of reference determining that I am moving and covering the mileage. By estimate, I can cover 1 mile in six minutes, which means my speed is .67 miles per hour. Because I turn around and return to the car, my total distance will be 7 miles, but my displacement will be 0 because I return to the point I started.
