Students went outside to perform the activities needed to determine their speeds in walking 10 yds, running 10 yd, walking 40 yd, and running 40 yds.  They will need a calculator tomorrow to complete the calculations for the lab in determining speed.

Students completed the Energy Review Questions (50 pts) during class.  They were told to be sure that they wear athletic shoes or comfortable shoes for tomorrows lab on Speed.

Students conducted a lab on "Air Resistance"  (50 pts) and were told to be prepared for a lab the first day back from Spring Break on "Speed".

6th - Took their "Forces" Chapter Test (100 pts) and completed the Energy Voc. (20 pts)

Enjoy the week off for Spring Break!!!

Students took the "Forces" Chapter Test  (100 pts) after reviewing the answers to the Chapter Review.  We will have an "Air Resistance" Lab tomorrow.

Students completed the "To the Finish Line" WS (20 pts) and the Forces Ch. Rev (50 pts) and completed the Forces Voc. Test (34 pts).  The Forces Chapter Test will be tomorrow.

We covered Projectile motion, Newton's 3rd Law of Motion and centripetal forces in the Powerpoint on "Forces".  At the conclusion of the notes, students were given a "Momentum" word problem worksheet (20 pts) to calculate momentum, mass or velocity.  They were also given a "Forces" Crossword Puzzle (20 pts) to complete for homework.  They will have the Forces Vocabulary Test tomorrow.

We defined and described where "gravity" comes from, the forces on stationary objects, how an object can be balanced or unbalanced, the "Law of Universal Gravitation", and the differences in mass and weight.  We concluded class with a worksheet on how to calculate the weight of an object. The "Weight" Word Problem WS was worth 30 pts.  They will have the Forces Voc. Test on Thursday and Forces Ch. Test on Friday.

Students took notes on types of friction and how they affect you from the "Forces" Powerpoint".  They were encouraged to be at school next week and plan for a chapter test on Forces by Thursday.

Students completed the "Forces" Review Questions WS (50 pts) in class.  We then began the "Forces" Notes from the PPT.  They were reminded to have a calculator each day.  We will also have the "Motion" Lab when the weather warms up.

Students took the "Motion" Chapter Test (100 pts) and then began the Forces Voc.  (36 pts). We will have the "Motion" Lab when the weather warms up.
