Students learned how to define work and calculate work when given Force and distance. Work was also demonstrated as well. We then work 3 practice problems and were given a Work Word Problem WS (20 pts). Students received a Bronze grade for calculator possession. They were also advised of the complete word problem test coming soon.

Students completed the Work & Machines Vocabulary (56 pts), then began the Work & Machines Review Questions (60 pts).

Students took the Energy Voc. Test (26 pts) after they completed the Energy Ch. Review (50 pts) and the Energy Crossword Puzzle (26 pts). They will have the Energy Chapter Test on tomorrow.

Students completed the final slide for Energy. They completed the Energy SNF (16pts) and Crossword Puzzle (38 pts) in preparation for their Energy Vocabulary Test tomorrow and Energy Chapter Test on Wednesday.

Students reviewed the notes on Energy. Then, we took notes on the types of potential energy. We learned the three types of potential energy. We learned the algebra to calculating the mass or height of objects that have gravitational potential energy. Finally, we concluded class with a worksheet on "Calculating Gravitational Potential Energy" (30 pts)

Students conducted a lab measuring air resistance w/pieces of paper. They were to complete the lab in class and complete the data assessment afterwards and for homework (50 pts).

4-17-18 (Tuesday)
Students were given the Energy Review Questions (60 pt) to read and answer during class. Also, a bronze grade, calculator check (10 pts).

Students took the Forces Chapter Test (100 pts) after looking over the items they missed on the Vocabulary Test and Chapter Review.

Students took notes on the Gravity, the Law of Universal Gravitation and how weight is calculated, as well as the forces on objects. They were assigned a Weight word Problem WS for homework (20 pts). Also, a calculator check was given as a bronze grade (10 pts).

We took notes from the Power Point on friction, types of friction and how it affects motion. We also took a bronze grade on calculators (10 pts).

Students learned how to determine forces and the SI unit. We also talked about the different units that make up a Newton. Then, we reviewed Newton's 1st Law of Motion, introduced the 2nd Law of Motion as well as explained the relationships. We concluded class by working practice problems in newton's 2nd Law of motion (acceleration, force and mass) They were given a word problem WS on newton's 2nd Law of Motion for classwork due 4th pd.
