Rolling to a Stop

by: Page Keeley and Rand Harrington

The purpose of this assessment probe is to elicit students' ideas related to force, energy, and motion. The probe is designed to identify students who may think about force as being carried by an object, rather than as being an interaction between objects. The probe will also identify those students who may confuse energy ideas with force ideas.
