Energy and Motion
Grade 4 - Science - On Level

A marble moved 1 m/s in Trial A and 5 m/s in Trial B. Which claim fits the evidence?
- the faster marble has more energy of motion
- both trials must transfer no energy
- the slower trial has more energy of motion
- speed does not affect motion energy
A toy car rolls toward a target. What prediction follows from the speed data?
- the faster toy car will knock over more pins
- the slower object will always move the target farther
- speed cannot be used to predict the collision
- the target will move only if the object is stopped
When the moving skateboard hits another object, what happens to energy?
- energy disappears instead of moving
- energy transfers from the skateboard to the foam block
- only light energy can transfer during a collision
- the stopped object gives all its energy to the moving object first
Which evidence best supports the claim "the faster skateboard has more energy of motion"?
- The cup was part of the test.
- The object had a name.
- Trial A happened first.
- Trial B was faster than Trial A for the same skateboard.
Which fair test would compare energy of motion for the marble?
- choose the result before testing
- change the object, ramp, target, and surface all at once
- measure color instead of motion
- use the same object at different speeds and measure how far the target moves
A toy car moved 3 m/s in Trial A and 8 m/s in Trial B. Which claim fits the evidence?
- the slower trial has more energy of motion
- the faster toy car has more energy of motion
- speed does not affect motion energy
- both trials must transfer no energy
A marble rolls toward a target. What prediction follows from the speed data?
- the faster marble will move the block farther
- the target will move only if the object is stopped
- the slower object will always move the target farther
- speed cannot be used to predict the collision
When the moving cart hits another object, what happens to energy?
- energy disappears instead of moving
- only light energy can transfer during a collision
- the stopped object gives all its energy to the moving object first
- energy transfers from the moving cart to the cup
Which evidence best supports the claim "the faster soccer ball has more energy of motion"?
- The object had a name.
- Trial A happened first.
- Trial B was faster than Trial A for the same soccer ball.
- The cup was part of the test.
Which fair test would compare energy of motion for the rubber ball?
- choose the result before testing
- measure color instead of motion
- change the object, ramp, target, and surface all at once
- use the same object at different speeds and measure how far the target moves
