Summary of Digital Lab: Truck
Truck (1): Investigate
Summary:
The goal of this virtual lab is to investigate the factors that impact a truck's ability to accelerate.
Driving Questions:
- Determine how the mass of the truck affects the acceleration of the truck.
- Determine how the forward acceleration force affects the time to reach 1 kilometer.
- Determine how the roughness of the road affects the acceleration.
- Determine how the mass of the truck affects the velocity at 1 kilometer.
NGSS Standards:
Truck (3): Predict
Summary:
In this lab, students will have the opportunity to make predictions using mathematics as they change the mass of a truck, force, and the roughness of the road.
Driving Questions
- Develop a mathematical model and make predictions about how the mass of the truck affects acceleration.
- Develop a mathematical model and make predictions about how the roughness of the road affects acceleration.
