FRIDAY QUIZ

Learning Target:

Objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless they experience a net force.

Activities:

Today we completed the Reflect and Connect for the Elaborate on pg 101 – 103.

Do Now:

• What are we studying that is easy for you?
• What are we studying that is challenging for you?
• What are you doing to make sure you have the grade you want?

Learning Target:

Objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless they experience a net force.

Activities:

Today we are graphing the data for our coffee filter investigations that we started on Monday.  Students should also complete Steps 4 – 6 from pg 99 – 101 in their notebooks.

Friday Quiz Part II

Learning Target:

Objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless they experience a net force.

Activities:

Today we planned our investigations for Part II of the Elaborate.  The goal is to collect data so that students can create a Number of paperclips vs. Time of fall graph for their coffee filter investigations.

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.

Do Now:

Learning Target:

Objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by a net force.

Activities:

Today we began work on the Elaborate.  We are using coffee filters to investigate gravitational forces and terminal velocity.  Students should have completed Steps 1 – 4.  This is a series of sketches, reading notes, and an analogy table.

Do Now:

Learning Target:

Both elastic and inelastic collisions exhibit conservation of momentum.

Activities:

Today we completed the Reflect and Connect on pg 86 – 87.  Whatever students did not finish in class was assigned as homework.

Do Now:

Learning Target:

Both elastic and inelastic collisions exhibit conservation of momentum.

Activities:

Today we continued Part II of the Explain.  Teams carried out investigations with the tennis ball apparatus, today using velcro to simulate inelastic collisions.  Students should have a completed data table that includes calculations for momentum and change in momentum for the system.

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.
