Balancing Forces
The Balancing Forces unit begins as students are introduced to a floating train. Students are challenged to figure out how the floating train works in order to explain it. The problem of explaining how the floating train works is broken down into smaller problems.
In Chapter 4, students work to figure out the question Why does the train float, even though gravity is acting on it?
Two forces can act on an object at once, and that these forces can be balanced, so that the object’s motion remains stable.
One investigation involves making a paper clip float on the end of a string. Students make a physical model and write an explanation showing why the train floats.
