3 Laws of Motion Song

How do forces affect motion? ·         Forces o   What is force and how does it act on an object? §  Contact Forces §  Distance Forces ·         What happens when multiple forces act on an object? o   Compare the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object. o   Apply the concept of net force to determine direction of motion.

Tuesday: ·         Newton’s Laws o   What is Newton’s First Law of Motion? §  Explain law using the concept of INERTIA o   What is Newton’s Second Law of Motion? §  Describe the relationship among force, mass, and acceleration. o   What is Newton’s Third Law of Motion? §  Explain how forces act in pairs.

4th Six Weeks Week 3: Changes in motion; Acceleration

Acceleration? Speed and Velocity Song

·         Acceleration ·         How does motion change? o   How do we measure changing velocity? o   Define Acceleration o   Identify common acceleration units

·         Acceleration ·         How is average acceleration calculated? o   Calculate average acceleration

·          Acceleration ·         How can accelerating objects change velocity? o   Recognize that acceleration is a change in speed, direction, or both o   Predict the outcome of velocity and acceleration being in the same direction and in opposite directions.

4th Six Weeks (Week 2) Motion & Speed

Motion o   What is motion? o   How can you describe the location of an object? o   How is distance measured? ·         Speed o   What is speed? o   What is average speed? o   How is Average Speed calculated? §  Formula: Speed = Distance/Time Speed: Distance over Time; Song

·         Motion and Speed o   How are distance, time, and speed related? o   Vocabulary: §  Position, Reference Point, Motion, Speed, Vector, & Velocity Speed Triangle: Video Reference ·         Identify common distance units ·         Velocity o   What is a vector? o   What is velocity? §  Differentiate between speed and velocity.

·          Distance-Time Graphs ·         Graph distance vs time o   How is constant speed graphed? o   How are changing speeds graphed? §  Analyze the relationship between speed and steepness of the line on a graph.

4th Six Weeks (Week 1) Thermal Energy & Heat

Welcome back hope you all had an amazing holiday break, but now its time to get refocused and continue your academic development. 

Heat and Temperature Video 

Thermal Energy and Heat:

·         How is temperature related to kinetic energy? o   Explain and discuss the kinetic theory of matter. o   Compare the speeds of particles in solids, liquids, and gases. ·         Review Kinetic theory of matter o   Think fast Questions §  Which of the following has particles with a higher average kinetic energy? ·         Present examples: Steam or ice water, etc.. §  Which of the following has particles with a lower average kinetic energy? ·         Present examples: Snow or water, etc..

·         Define temperature, degree, and thermometer. o   Students must create a word triangle for each of the vocabulary terms in their Science Journal. ·         Relate temperature to kinetic energy of particles. o   High Temp. = higher kinetic energy o   Low Temp. = lower kinetic energy §  Due to particle movement ·         Measure temperature using different scales. o   Fahrenheit o   Celsius o   Kelvin ·

·         Thermal Energy & Heat  ·         What is the relationship between heat and temperature? o   Define: Thermal Energy & Heat §  Discuss and differentiate between thermal energy, temperature, & heat.
