§6.1, printed pp. 81–83: perpendicular force per area and pascal. The weather and cyclone portions are outside this investigation.
Inspected 2026-10-23Spread the force
Why can the same force produce different pressures?
Set up your investigation
Vary a perpendicular load and its contact area; compare pressure with a visible unit conversion.
Write at least 8 characters. Each trial keeps its own inputs; later control changes do not rewrite earlier observations.
Observe the model
Your experiment starts with a prediction.
Set the controls above and run a trial. A diagram, exact quantities and an explanation will appear here.
EVIDENCE, SIDE BY SIDE
Your laboratory notebook
Keep up to 8 trials for this investigation. Compare two recorded observations with exactly one changed control. Writing is saved as participation evidence.
No trials yet. Start with the setup above.
A controlled comparison needs two observations with exactly one changed input.
Test your reasoning
Use at least 40 characters, a result from each trial and one model limitation. Your writing is not automatically graded.
Build your investigation evidence
- ○ Two observed trials with one changed control
- ○ Mechanism / reasoning check
- ○ Written explanation of at least 40 characters
These practice markers recalculate when evidence changes. They are not an official grade or a claim of mastery.
