We then did the first part of the activity; changing the mass of the car to see the affect on its speed.

We will continue the lab and write up next class.

The exit ticket was to write to complete the probe Swinging in the Trees.

Students spent the remainder of the class period on individual assignments such as Edgenuity and Gizmo.

AGENDA

WHOLE GROUP

Students who had not written to explain why we should wear seat belts did so as the bell ringer.

Also, the class that had not taken notes on Newton's Laws or watched the BrainPop on Newton's Laws did so. You can find this information on the previous blog.

Home learning 3 above was distributed and we reviewed some sample problems.

Students then corrected the QSBA 1 exam.

Thursday, 08 November, through Wednesday, 15 November, 2017

Note:

Classes will take the QSBA 1 exam on Monday, 13 November for Period 2 and on Tuesday, 14 November for Period 3.

AGENDA

WHOLE GROUP

Students on Thursday did the bell ringer above.

Students then watched a BrainPop on Newton's Laws. You can watch the video by going to the link below. Sign in with the user name amsbartow and the password ams13.

Newton's Laws of Motion

Students then took notes on Newton's Laws. You can find the video form of the power point below.

Make-up exams will be given on Wednesday and Thursday, so be sure to be in school!

Students who have completed their exams will work on the Gizmos (Gravity Pitch and Fan Cart Physics) while others test or have their data chats.
