State / Local / Other Standards

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) 4-PS3-1: Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.MD.A.3): Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real-world and mathematical problems.

Instructions

Insert cardstock into the machine and cut cardstock pieces, fold along score lines and curl the tail.

Assessment

Students will conduct an experiment using paper horses on inclined surfaces of varying angles. They will record their observations and explain how the angle of the incline affects the speed and distance traveled by the horses. Their explanations will be assessed using a rubric that evaluates understanding of gravity, incline, and motion.
