Class this week:
We are working on our unit on forces and Newton's Laws. Students took a vocabulary quiz last week on our vocabulary unit. This week, we will continue our study by watching some video clips, reading a few articles, and doing a hands on activity with forces. Last week, students updated or started their digital portfolios. Many teachers will have students post selected assignments to their digital portfolios for a grade this year. Table of Contents: FORCES - These papers should currently be organized in your binder! Resources and online textbook: FORCES HW = Homework WU = Warm Ups Lost your Warm Up Sheet? No problem. Print one here. Warm Up Sheet Next Quiz or Test: Friday, 10/18, Forces Test. Monday, 10/7 HW: Finish reading the Friction Blister article. WU: No written warm up today. Tuesday, 10/8 Classwork: Use this interactive PHET Simulation to discover the relationship between force, mass, net force, and friction. HW: None WU: Use the Friction Blister article to answer these questions. 1. What are the two types of friction? 2. Explain what causes blisters according to the scientific explanation in the article. 3. Look at the table of surfaces and numbers: Which materials have the highest and lowest numbers? Wednesday, 10/9 - No Warm Up, Teacher Work Day HW: WU: Thursday, 10/10 HW: Finish the graphic organizer on Newton's laws of motion. Next test is on Friday, 10/18, Forces. WU: Watch this Brain Pop Video on forces. (You can also access Brain Pop through the Wake ID Portal) 1. Give an example of a contact force and a non-contact force. 2. What are all the forces on a book sitting on a table? 3. What is the net force of a book sitting on a table? Friday, 10/11 HW: Have a great weekend. Next test is on Friday, 10/18, Forces. WU: 1.What is the relationship between force and motion described by Newton’s first law? (D44) 2.What is inertia? How is the inertia of an object related to its mass? (D46) 3.INFER: Once a baseball has been hit into the air, what forces are acting upon it? How can you tell that any forces are acting upon the ball? (D42) Comments are closed.
