Week 1 Quiz

What makes the golf ball move and stop

Let’s see what we learned this week! Ask your parent to read each question aloud and talk about the answers together.

For parent-teachers: correct answer shown in orange-brown. Use as a discussion guide, not a grading tool.

Question 1

What is a force?

  • ○ A loud noise
  • ✓ A push or pull that makes something move, slow down, or change direction
  • ○ The speed of a golf ball

Question 2

What force pulls the golf ball back to the ground?

  • ○ Wind
  • ✓ Gravity
  • ○ Friction

Question 3

What does friction do to a rolling golf ball?

  • ○ Makes it go faster
  • ○ Pushes it sideways
  • ✓ Slows it down and eventually stops it
Parent-Teacher Note

Forces are everywhere in golf. The goal this week is intuition, not vocabulary. If your child understands that hits make things move, gravity pulls them down, and friction slows them down, the week has succeeded.
