Performance Assessment Focus
This performance assessment is designed to:
1. allow students to demonstrate procedural skill in measuring the force of friction.
2. allow students to demonstrate procedural skill in measuring the force of gravity.
3. provide an opportunity for students to engage in problem-solving.
4. encourage students to design and conduct experiments that will solve a problem.
