The review of simple machines is an integral part of this unit. The relationships among work, machines, and the real world will be considered. Pretest: Unit 6 Student Understandings Students will be able to identify forces. They will describe the relationship between kinetic and potential energy. Further, the idea of work and its relationship to power and efficiency will be introduced with regard to simple machines. PS17 Describe and demonstrate that friction is a force that acts whenever two surfaces or objects move past one another (PS- M-B2) ileap Key Concept: Understand simple machines (relationship of work input to work output).
