Week 1 & 2 Semester 2 Feb. 1 - Feb 9 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 forces are pushes or pulls
4. Know that no movement means the forces are balanced.
5. Know that weight is different than mass - it is the force due to gravity.
6. Know that 1 Newton is the weight of about 100 grams (two hexnuts).

Activities:
Thursday: Try to explain why gliders glide. Develop background information about forces and springs. Homework: Write introduction for spring lab.Links to handouts for lab.
Friday: Design procedure and start data collection for experiment.
Monday: Finish collecting data. Homework: write procedure finish graphs.
Blockday: Discuss experimental results. Write district science anchor assignment. Homework: write experiment conclusion.
Thursday: Lecture and notes about forces.
Friday: Review, notebooks and quiz.
