1) The document investigates whether it takes more work to go straight up a mountain or take a longer scenic route around to the top. 2) It defines work as force multiplied by distance (W=Fd) and presents data on the force and distance traveled for different routes. 3) The data and formula show that more work is required to travel a longer distance, so taking the scenic route that goes farther would require more work to reach the top of the mountain.

1. Do you do more work
going straight up a
mountain or taking the
longer scenic route
around to the top?
A
B
Work = Force (N) x D (m)
or W= Fd

2. Title/Aim: Do you do more work going straight up a
mountain or taking the longer scenic route around to the top?

4. Conclusion/Summary:
1.Is your hypothesis right or wrong? Explain.
-Restate your hypothesis
-State whether right or wrong
-Use data (#’s) to support why hypothesis is right or wrong
- your group data, B block class data, and 8th
grade combined class
data
2.Explain your results(the answer). What is the
relationship between work of A (straight up) work of
B (scenic route)?
- use the formula W = F x d (use force #’s from your group data)
