Language Objective:

I can write to describe aspects of gravity by participating in a balloon rocket activity with my group.

HOMEWORK – 1. Finish Balloon Lab sheets if needed.

2. Study Vocabulary from Quizlet (link found on iLearn)

Content Objective:

I can understand the meaning of the terms speed, velocity and acceleration and how they relate to motion by completing an activity with my group.

Speed – the distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel that distance

Velocity – the speed of an object in a particular direction

Acceleration – the rate at which velocity changes over time

Language Objective:

I can write to describe aspects of speed, velocity and acceleration by participating in a balloon rocket activity with my group.

HOMEWORK – Study Vocabulary for upcoming Quiz (next week)

Content Objective:

I can understand the meaning of the term momentum and how it relates to motion by completing an activity with my group.

momentum  —–  mōˈmen(t)əm    —   noun – the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.

Language Objective:

I can talk to describe aspects of momentum by observing video clips and completing an activity with my group.

HOMEWORK – Work on finishing any missing work if needed.

Content Objective:

I can understand the meaning of the term inertia and how it relates to motion by completing an activity with my group.

Inertia        iˈnərSHə/         noun    The tendency of an object to resist being moved or if the object is moving to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object

Language Objective:

I can talk, read and write to describe aspects of motion by interacting with a PhET Motion simulation on the Chromebooks with my cooperative learning group while following the guiding prompts and recording my observations on a Google document.

Homework – Finish your PhET Lab questions (found on iLearn) and turn it into Google Classroom.

Content Objective:

I can understand the meaning of the term friction and how it relates to motion by completing an activity with my group.

Language Objective:

I can talk, read and write to describe aspects of motion by interacting with a PhET Motion simulation on the Chromebooks with my cooperative learning group while following the guiding prompts and recording my observations on a Google document.

HOMEWORK – None

Content Objective:

I can understand the meaning of the term mass and how it relates to motion by completing an activity with my group.  

Mass – a fundamental measure of the amount of matter in the object.

• Weight depends on the force of gravity and is measured in Newtons (N)
• Mass does not depend on gravity and is measured in grams (g)
