8 questions with a Robots theme plus a full answer key. Perfect for Grade 6 Science.
⬇ Download WorksheetStudents will be able to describe how balanced and unbalanced forces affect the motion of an object, using evidence from Zoe's robot experiments.
Before Q6, pause and ask students to predict whether Zoe's robot arm will move based on the force values given. This activates prior knowledge of balanced vs. unbalanced forces from Q3 and Q5.
- Zoe enters the robot lab. She pushes a small robot forward. A push is a type of force. True or False: A force can change the direction of a moving object.
- Zoe sees the robot arm resting on the table. No forces are acting on it. Fill in the blank: When all forces on an object are equal, the forces are called __________ forces.
- Zoe charges the energy cell. The robot arm gets two forces: a 10 N push left and a 10 N push right. Will the robot arm move? Explain using the word 'balanced.'
