Generals Can: apply newtons laws of motion to real world situations Using the following picture, describe which object exerts more force on the other. The bat or the ball? Why?

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction- Newtons 3rd LawLab Expectations-Balloon RocketsNo Horseplay- dont hit each other with the balloons, etc. Be mindful of others around you- lots of motion going on so be aware of whats going on! Work hard and stay on task- lots to do in a little time! Have fun! Science is fun! If we follow expectations, then we can have even MORE fun! Unscrambling the PURPOSEWAIT! Check in!Whats our target??

Generals Can: apply newtons laws of motion to real world situations After picking up a student riding the school bus to school in the morning, the bus travels 2 km before stopping for 30 seconds to pick up another student. Then, the bus travels another 6 km where it takes 30 seconds to pick up another student. The bus then goes 2 km to school. The entire trip takes 10 minutes. What is the speed over the course of the trip? (Avg. speed = total distance / total time)A. 1 km/minB. 2 km/minC. 10 km/minD. 1m/min

What do you know about:

Write down everything you think you might possibly know about rockets- think about our lab from yesterday!TRY! Even if you dont think you know anything! ROCKETS

EndLift off! Lets look at this situation: Draw a diagram showing the forces acting on the object. What forces are acting in this system? In which direction?Finding the acceleration of the rocketWe want to know how fast the rocket was accelerating before it exited the atmosphere- This is the data we have:

When a rocket lifts off, the fuel is exerting a downward force and there is an equal but opposite force pushing upward. What other examples of this phenomenon do you see in your everyday world? Think creatively! There are tons! Scholar Start11-21-13

Mapping the passageReading and annotating this article! Gotta love NASA- Coolest organization ever! How can you draw connections to our current unit of study (motion and forces)?

10 minutesFood For ThoughtHow does it relate to our unit and study of Newtons Laws? Where do you see Newtons Laws at work in the article? Where do you see it at work in other parts of our lives?Write for fiveIf you were to get a job with NASA, what experiments would you want to carry out in space? Why? How would you do it (scientific method refresh)?5 minutesEndScholar Start11-22-13

I want every person to write down the top 3 things that you value the most in each of the following categories. When youre finished, fold it in half and come drop it in the mailbox up front. Please be as thoughtful as you can when youre responding! And put your name on it! Materials items- cell phone, favorite blanket from when they were a kid, an outfit, a pen, etc.Characteristics and qualities- honesty, friendship, loyalty, caring, kindness, etc. People- who are the three most important people in your life? If you feel like it, tell me why. Memories- What are your three favorite memories?
