FRIDAY QUIZ
Learning Target:
Objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by a net force.
Activities:
Today we continue work on the Elaborate. We are using coffee filters to investigate gravitational forces and terminal velocity. Students should have completed Steps 6 – 7. This is a series of sketches and analogy tables. Stop and Think Part I pg 98 was assigned as homework.

FRIDAY QUIZ
Learning Target:
Both elastic and inelastic collisions exhibit conservation of momentum.
Activities:
Today we began Part II of the Explain. As a class we examined the mathematical relationships between force, velocity, and momentum. Students should have a two-column table showing the relationships and the explanations of those relationships.
