Who's the Frog Jumping Champion?

Description:

Who's the Frog Jumping Champion in your class? Students construct a model of a simple machine (lever) to investigate the affect that applied force has on an object (plastic frog). This is a fun, hands-on, investigative activity that incorporates both science and math measurement skills in meeting state standards.

Conforms To

Sunshine State Standards Grade Level Expectations: Science (1996)

Strand C: Force and Motion

Standard 2: The student understands that the types of force that act on an object and the effect of that force can be described, measured, and predicted.

Benchmark SC.C.2.2.2: The student knows that an object may move in a straight line at a constant speed, speed up, slow down, or change direction dependent on net force acting on the object.

Third
1. knows that an object may move in a straight line at a constant speed, speed up, slow down, or change direction dependent on net force acting on the object

Conforms To

Strand B: Measurement

Standard 1: The student measures quantities in the real world and uses the measures to solve problems.

Benchmark MA.B.1.2.1: The student uses concrete and graphic models to develop procedures for solving problems related to measurement including length, weight, time, temperature, perimeter, area, volume, and angle.

Third
1. knows measurement concepts and can use oral and written language to communicate them
