Physics September 28 - October 2, 2015

For Metric Monday, we will measure length in meters, centimeters, and millimeters then use this information to create each individual's "Official Metric Identity" card.  This week we will focus on height, arm span, hand span (R&L), foot length (R&L).  This should be fun!

We will continue to discuss Newton's Three Laws of Motion and identify real-life examples.  This week we will observe potential and kinetic energy and experiment with odds-and-ends (spools, rubber bands, toy cars, Popsicle sticks...)

It is time to get serious about this marble roller coaster project.  I will make team assignments, give you a project planning worksheet, and we will get started!

Math for Week of September 28- October 2, 2015

This week in Math we will review adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers.  After our test last week, I saw that many students are struggling with this concept.  We will spend this week reviewing this important skill.  Children need to master this skill before we can move on to other algebraic skills.  Any help you can give your child at home will be beneficial for him or her in class.  Thank you for your cooperation.

This week in Physics we will learn about Sir Isaac Newton's Three Laws of Motion

*An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on my an unbalanced force.  An object in motion will stay in motion at the same speed and in the same direction unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

*The acceleration of an object by a force is inversely proportional to the mass of the object and directly proportional to the force.

*For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Vocabulary (found on my quizlet page)  Test on Friday

speed
acceleration
velocity
inertia
unbalanced force
balanced force
friction
work
joules
momentum
net force
