Description

Tiny is a little 9 years old borrower that has lost his treasure. A mouse entered his house and stole his collection of buttons, and took them to his mouse house. Tiny cannot walk so he built a wheelchair to move and go through any obstacle on his way. Appart of the buttons, the mouse has stolen many other objects like iron marbles, wooden sticks and other things that Tiny can use to go through the mouse house and get back all his treasure, because his wheelchair has a magnet on it, and Tiny knows how to use it to move objects.

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Collisions and Forces. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

A force has both a strength and a direction.

A force is a push or pull on an object.(ES)

Motion is the change in position of an object.

A contact force is a force that occurs when objects are in direct contact with each other.

Friction is a contact force that opposes the motion of an object.

Moving objects contain energy.

When objects collide, energy is transferred from one object to the other, changing their motion.

When an object slides relative to another, the frictional forces between them transfer the energy of motion into heat energy, causing the object to slow down.

When a force acts on an object, it transfers energy to the object that affects its motion.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What do you already know about force? What is a magnet? What happens when you increase the force on a magnet?

After the Game

What were three examples from the game where a force was transferred from one object to another? What is friction and how does it affect the motion of an object?
