Forces & Simple Machines

4th Grade

Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE): S4P3.a.

Identify simple machines and explain their uses (lever, pulley, wedge, inclined plane, screw, wheel and axle).

Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE): S4P3.b.

Using different size objects, observe how force affects speed and motion.

Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE): S4P3.c.

Explain what happens to the speed or direction of an object when a greater force than the initial one is applied.

Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE): S4P3.d.

Demonstrate the effect of gravitational force on the motion of an object.

Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE): S4P3.a

Plan and carry out an investigation on the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object and communicate the results.

Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE): S4P3.b

Construct an argument to support the claim that gravitational force affects the motion of an object.

Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE): S4P3.c

Ask questions to identify and explain the uses of simple machines (lever, pulley, wedge, inclined plane, wheel and axle, and screw) and how forces are changed when simple machines are used to complete tasks.
(Clarification statement: The use of mathematical formulas is not expected.)
