DAY 13
MINI GAME PRACTICE
I can observe patterns in forces and motion with
the mini ‘block bash’ model to make predictions
about how to excel in the full-size game.
What is a model?A scientific model is a picture, diagram, or physical kit, that makes an idea easier to test or explain.
Designing and using models is an important part of science. Models
are used to help investigate safely.
Models do have limitations and may not match your actual
investigation perfectly.
Each team today will be given materials to use for a Mini-Block Bash challenge. This model will help you prepare for
the BIG GAME.
You may use the materials in a way your team seems fit.
grain mini zinger
washers and push pins
Add pucks and meterstick
mini zippers
Ruler or tape measure
MINI GAME PRACTICETurn to page 9 in your Student Notebook.
In this investigation you will use the materials provided to explore three
different variables.
First, you will do a controlled investigation where you investigate 1 variable at a time.
Second, you will do an open investigation to find the
best combination.
MINI GAME PRACTICE
Make a hypothesis. With your team, predict which zinger weight, ramp incline, and zipper weight you think will
have the best results. Record your thoughts in your journals.
MINI GAME PRACTICE
Now you are ready to start investigating.
You will have 5 minutes for each investigation.
The first variable we will investigate is zinger weight.
Investigating Zinger Weight
Complete the first part of the
controlled investigation on the top of
page 10 of your Student Notebook.
Change the zinger weight, but keep
the ramp incline and zipper weight
constant.
A constant is something that you keep
the same.
MINI GAME PRACTICE
5 Minutes is Up!
Investigating Ramp Incline
Complete the second part of the
controlled investigation on the
page 10 of your Student Notebook.
Change the ramp incline but keep
the zinger and zipper weight
constant.
MINI GAME PRACTICE
5 Minutes is Up!
Investigating Zipper Weight
Complete the second part of the
controlled investigation on the
page 10 of your Student Notebook.
Change the weight of the zipper.
• The plastic zipper is light.
• The clay zipper is heavy.
Keep the ramp incline and zinger
weight constant.
MINI GAME PRACTICE
5 Minutes is Up!
DAY 14
For the second day of mini game investigations you can play openly to find the best combination of variables. Turn to page 11 of your packet and start exploring.

DAY 15
LET’S REFLECT. . . .
What did you discover through your
marble and Mini Block Bash investigations?
1. What did you notice when you changed
the ramp incline?
2. What did you notice when you changed
the Zinger weight?
3. What did you notice when you changed
the Zipper weight?
BLOCK BASH TRIAL #1
I can apply patterns in
forces and motion to
Block Bash.
I can work as a team to
improve our design.
Turn to the BLOCK BASH PLANNING
GUIDE in your Team Notebook.
Complete the first 3 rows.
BLOCK BASH TRIAL #1
Have your work checked and gather
your materials.
1. Complete trial #1a.
2. Improve our design.
3. Complete trial #1b.
4. Improve our design.
5. Complete trial #1c.
Take time at the end to reflect on your
teamwork. Place an X on the arrow to
show where your group is at.
DAY 16
LESSON 4HOW DOES FRICTION IMPACT MOTION?
I can observe how changing the texture of a surface
impacts motion.
PART 1: HOW FAR DOES YOUR MONEY GO?
In this investigation you will use the materials provided to
explore how the texture of a surface affects patterns in motion.
What is texture?
Turn and Talk
PART 1: HOW FAR DOES YOUR MONEY GO?In this investigation you will record your observations in cm and
description words. Here are some descriptive words we can use to describe distance.
SETTING UP THE INVESTIGATION1. Use the clipboard from your
mini-game as a ramp. Find a good height –not too steep and not too low.
2. Clip a piece of material onto the clipboard.
3. Place a meterstick or measuring tape onto the clipboard.
4. Hold a penny at the top of the board and let go.
5. Measure how far the penny goes.
Quick check –
• What force is pulling the penny down the ramp?
• What force is pushing the penny to slow down?
PART 1: HOW FAR DOES YOUR MONEY GO?
Now you are ready to start
investigating.
Turn to page 13 and get
started.
DAY 17
LESSON 4HOW DOES FRICTION IMPACT MOTION?
I can observe how changing the texture of a surface impacts
motion.
BIG IDEAS:
Textures that are _________, ____________, and ______________
slow down the motion of the penny more than textures that are ___________, ____________, and ___________.
Friction is the ___________________ that slows things down. It occurs when two objects rub against each other.
force
CHAPTER 5: FRICTION
DAY 18
Work with your Motion Team.
1. Read A World Without Friction?
2. Decide whose statement you agree with…Karen or Jeff.
3. Justify your answers with reasons or examples.
Scientists always use evidenceto support their answers.
Formative Assessment #18
Karen was correct!
Without friction Karen
would move in a straight light without
slowing down.
Formative Assessment Follow Up #18
DAY 19
Work with your Motion Team.
1. Read Is It a Model?2. Decide which examples are
models.3. Justify your answers with
reasons or examples.
Scientists always use evidence
to support their answers.
Formative Assessment #10 Is it a Model?
C, H and K are not
models.
In these examples
you are looking at
or working with the
real thing not a
model.
Formative Assessment #10 Is it a Model?
PART 2: MINI GAME PRACTICEI can observe patterns in forces and motion with
the mini ‘block bash’ model to make predictions
about how to excel in the full-size game.
In this investigation you will use your mini game to investigate
friction. The variable, or element of the game you can change, is the zinger surface, however for the model we will change the
ramp surface. This is easier.
• Variable: Zinger Surface (in the game)Ramp Surface (in the model)
Cotton cloth
Fur
Silk
Wax paper
Felt
Foam paper
SETTING UP THE INVESTIGATION1. Use the clipboard from your
mini-game as a ramp. Find a good height –not too steep and not too low.
2. Clip a piece of material onto the clipboard.
3. Place a meter stick or measuring tape onto the clipboard.
4. Hold your mini zinger at the top of the board and let go.
5. Measure how far the mini zinger goes.
Quick check –
• What force is pulling the zinger down the ramp?
• What force is pushing the zinger to slow down?
PART 2: MINI GAME PRACTICE
Make sure you explain your thinking!
PART 2: MINI GAME PRACTICERemember to do a controlled investigation by only changing 1 variable at a time.
• Variable you are changing is the zinger surface!
• Variables you are keeping the same (in each trial): ramp incline, zinger weight, and zapper.

I notice that the zinger did not
create a large collision because there
was too much friction.
