“Create a graded 7-question “Do Now” multiple-choice activity for 6th-grade science students preparing to complete a spring-scale force experiment. The purpose of this Do Now is to check that students understand exactly what they need to do during today’s experiment before they begin. Keep the reading level simple and ELL-friendly. Use short sentences, clear vocabulary, and 4 answer choices (A–D) for every question. Include helpful pictures/visuals with the questions, especially pictures of a spring scale, the objects being tested, and examples of recording data. Do not make the correct answer obvious from the wording or image. Create exactly 7 questions covering: 1. Spring-scale procedure: What should a student do before using the spring scale? Correct answer should include checking that it begins at 0 N. 2. Using the spring scale: Students should place the push rod against the object, keep the scale straight, and push slowly and gently until the object begins to move. 3. Objects being tested: Students will test a dictionary, dictionary + rocks, and one chosen object. 4. Prediction: Students make a prediction before testing about which object will be easier or harder to move. They should not make up a Newton measurement for their prediction. 5. Measuring and recording force: Students read the spring scale when the object begins to move and record the force in newtons (N). 6. “What Happened?” section: Students record what they actually observed, such as whether the object moved easily or slowly, how it felt to push, and the force measurement. They should report what actually happened, not their prediction. 7. Evidence/CER: Students should understand that evidence comes from the measurements and observations collected during the experiment. Include the basic distinction: Claim = what you learned/answer; Evidence = what you measured or observed; Reasoning = why the evidence supports the claim. Images/visuals: Include an image with as many questions as appropriate. Use clear visuals of a 5 N spring scale, a dictionary, a dictionary with rocks on top, and a student-selected classroom object. Include a visual showing a spring scale being used to push an object and a simple visual of a data table/CER when appropriate. Grading: This is a graded Do Now, not practice. Make each question worth 1 point for a total of 7 points. Include an answer key for the teacher. Title the activity: “Do Now: Are You Ready for the Spring-Scale Experiment?” Add this direction at the top for students: “Choose the BEST answer for each question. This Do Now will show that you are ready to complete today’s experiment safely and correctly.” Do not introduce new science content. The goal is to check whether students understood their homework preparation and know what to do during the experiment.Create a graded 7-question “Do Now” multiple-choice activity for 6th-grade science students preparing to complete a spring-scale force experiment.
