Today, we took notes and discussed Newton's 3rd Law of Motion, Centripetal forces and acceleration, weight and calculated momentum.  We concluded class with a Momentum word problem worksheet (20 pts).

We continued the notes on types of friction and gravity. Students learned the 3 types of friction, what causes gravity and the effect of gravity on weight.  We concluded class with the learning of the acceleration of gravity and the calculation of weight by using the Weight Word Problem WS (20 pts).

Students read the remainder of Ch. 3, Sec. 1 that talks about friction, it's types and it's causes to learn how to read and summarize the key concepts.  Then we compared the notes from their readings to the notes from the PowerPoint.

Students read Sec. 2 of the Forces chapter and wrote down the important facts.  Afterwards, we discussed and reviewed the notes with the PowerPoint so that student's could correct what they misunderstood.

Students were challenged to read the 1st Section of the Forces chapter.  As they read, they determined AND wrote down the vital information which was discussed later in the chapter.  Then, we compared their important items w/the items from the Teacher's PowerPoint.  Then, we worked problems on Newton's 2nd Law of Motion for homework.
