2. Essential Questions How can you recognize a pattern?WD
How can you recognize a pattern?
How can a pattern help you make predictions?

3. Goals
Use numerical data to prove that an inverse relationship exists between the effort force and effort distance.
Recognize that when a simple machine is used, by applying an effort force over a specific effort distance, energy is transferred from the user to the machine to accomplish a task.
Interpret data from previous activities and draw conclusions about the effort distance, effort force, and the energy transferred during the process.
Quantify the amount of energy used by a simple machine to accomplish a task.

4. Main Ideas WD
When a simple machine is used, by applying an effort force over a specific effort distance, energy is transferred from the user to the machine to accomplish a task.
The energy put into a system to accomplish a task is the same each time, so long as the task remains the same.
The input energy, as well as the output energy, of a system can be quantified.
