(One sentence use 9 year old words))

Answer 1

For reasoning and evidence make it about a seesaw

Answer 2

Like when no one’s using the seesaw is what I meant sorry

Answer 3

**Claim:** When the forces on the object were balanced, the object did not move.

**Evidence:** I saw that when two people pushed the box with the same force from opposite sides, the box stayed in one place instead of moving.

**Reasoning:** This means the net force was zero because the pushes canceled each other out, so the box didn't go anywhere.

Answer 4

**Claim:** When the forces on the seesaw were balanced, the seesaw stayed level and did not move up or down.

**Evidence:** I noticed that when two friends of the same weight sat on opposite ends of the seesaw, it stayed perfectly horizontal and didn't tip to either side.

**Reasoning:** This shows that the net force was zero because the heavy friends balanced each other out, which is why the seesaw did not move.

Answer 5

**Claim:** When no one is using the seesaw, the forces are balanced, and the seesaw stays level.

**Evidence:** I saw that when no kids were on the seesaw, it was perfectly horizontal and didn’t tip to one side.

**Reasoning:** This means the net force was zero because there were no extra weights on either side, which kept the seesaw steady and level.
