#	Question	Answer
1	Of the events you explored, which animal did the most work? Why?
2	Using the scientific definition of work, explain why no work was done in one of the events.
3	Using the scientific definition of work does a greater amount of force always results in a greater amount of work? Why or Why not?
4	Using the scientific definition of work, does moving an object a greater amount of distance always requires a greater amount of work? Why or Why Not?
5	List 3 additional real-world examples that show work being done.
6	What real-world examples show no work being done? Can you think of examples other than resisting the force of gravity?
