LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to:
-Interpret and apply Newton’s Laws of Motion to objects on earth.
BELL RINGER: write the proportionals for all of the f-ma equations: if F increase, then m increases proportionally, etc.
VOCABULARY: force, weight, mass, tension, compression, balanced, unbalanced, frictional forces, equilibrium, normal and net force, inertia
HOME LEARNING: notebook update
AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP
Students wrote the proportionality's for each of the iterations of Newton's second law. On the second day, students wrote to explain how the experiment related to Newton's laws.
Students then completed the second part of the lab, focusing on changing the force used to launch the car.
Students then worked on the Gizmo Fan Cart Physics.
