Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.13 Claims with Evidence from Motion skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Data: The same ping-pong ball starts at the same speed. On ice-like plastic, it stops after 3.8 m and the surface warms 0.5 °C. On grass mat, it stops after 2.7 m and warms 1.2 °C. Which CER best explains the effect of friction?

AClaim: ice-like plastic caused more friction because the ping-pong ball traveled farther before stopping.

BClaim: Friction created new energy from nothing, so speed increased.

CClaim: The temperature data should be ignored because only distance matters.

DClaim: grass mat caused more friction. Evidence: The ping-pong ball stopped sooner and the surface warmed more. Reasoning: Friction transfers energy of motion into thermal energy.

Solution & Explanation:The higher-friction surface is grass mat: the object stopped in a shorter distance and more energy changed into thermal energy.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Data: The same wood block starts at the same speed. On smooth plastic, it stops after 3.6 m and the surface warms 0.7 °C. On felt, it stops after 2.5 m and warms 1.4 °C. Which CER best explains the effect of friction?

AClaim: smooth plastic caused more friction because the wood block traveled farther before stopping.

BClaim: Friction created new energy from nothing, so speed increased.

CClaim: felt caused more friction. Evidence: The wood block stopped sooner and the surface warmed more. Reasoning: Friction transfers energy of motion into thermal energy.

DClaim: The temperature data should be ignored because only distance matters.

Solution & Explanation:The higher-friction surface is felt: the object stopped in a shorter distance and more energy changed into thermal energy.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Data: The same soccer ball starts at the same speed. On wax paper, it stops after 3.4 m and the surface warms 0.6 °C. On sandpaper, it stops after 2.3 m and warms 1.3 °C. Which CER best explains the effect of friction?

AClaim: wax paper caused more friction because the soccer ball traveled farther before stopping.

BClaim: sandpaper caused more friction. Evidence: The soccer ball stopped sooner and the surface warmed more. Reasoning: Friction transfers energy of motion into thermal energy.

CClaim: Friction created new energy from nothing, so speed increased.

DClaim: The temperature data should be ignored because only distance matters.

Solution & Explanation:The higher-friction surface is sandpaper: the object stopped in a shorter distance and more energy changed into thermal energy.
