Week4 Feb 27- March 3 Goals:
Be able to state Newton's Third Law
Be able to apply the third law to every day situations including explaining how a glider gets its lift

Activities:
Monday: Go over quiz, start poster project in groups - illustrate a situation from a list given in class and draw and label 6 pairs of action and reaction forces on it.
Block day: 20 minutes on Review Sheet Newton's First and Third Laws- Review and Study Sheet
. Finish and present posters. Homework: List three examples of action and reaction force pairs from the reading on a handout. Sorry the reading is not available on line.
Thursday: Start designing gliders on computers
Friday: Finish glider design. Quiz

Notebook contents:
Homework Reading and three action and reaction force pairs
Newton's First and Third Laws- Review and Study Sheet  ¶ 5:41 PM

  Week 2 and 3, Feb 13 - Feb 17

Goals:
1. Friction is a force that opposes motion due to interactions between surfaces.
2. The force due to friction can be measured by measuring the force required to drag an object at constant velocity
3. Be able to describe the effects of different surfaces and weights on the force due to friction.
4. Inertia is the tendency of an object to keep doing what it is already doing.
5. Be able to state and apply Newton's First law.

Activities
Monday- Notes and quiz from last week
Block day - Start Friction Experiment
Thursday - Finish posters of experiment results and start homework questions about reading. Sorry there is no electronic copy of this.
Friday - Notes about Friction and Newton's First Law.

Content of Notebook (The notebook will probably be combined with the follwoing week's notebook since the contents will be very small.)

1. Reading and Questions about Newton's First Law
2. Notes about Friction and Newton's First Law  ¶ 1:25 PM

  week1: Feb 6 - 10 Because more time is needed for collecting data. Thursday and Fridays schedules have been postponed until Friday adn Monday. Quiz and notebook on Monday.


Goals:
1. Know how a spring's stretch is related to the applied force.
2. Draw Force Diagrams correctly: Vectors(arrows) start on object feeling the force, direction is in the direction of the force, length is proportional to the force.
3. Know that a forces are pushes or pulls
4. No movement means the forces are balanced.
5. Weight is different than mass - it is the force due to gravity.
6. 1 Newton is the weight of about 100 grams (two hexnuts).

Activities:
Monday: Go over grades and preview the next semester. Try to explain why gliders glide.
Blockday: Big Experiment with springs - write introduction, design procedure, collect data. Homework: write procedure. Links to handouts for lab.
Thursday: Work on final parts of lab - graph and conclusion.
Friday: Lecture, Notebooks and Quiz.

Notebook contents:
1. Scientific Work Sample Parts 1 and 2: Introduction and Procedure
2. Data Table
3. Graph
4. Conclusion
5. Lecture Notes
6. Practice Handouts  ¶ 12:48 PM
