Force and Motion
Unit 2 Standard
S8P3. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about cause and effect relationships between force, mass, and the motion of objects.
a. Analyze and interpret data to identify patterns in the relationships between speed and distance, and velocity and acceleration.
b. Construct an explanation using Newton’s Laws of Motion to describe the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
c. Construct an argument from evidence to support the claim that the amount of force needed to accelerate an object is proportional to its mass (inertia).

Day 1: Station 1 & 4 Newton's Laws Videos and Flocabulary/Day 2: Swap with Station 2 & 3
Directions:
Directions:
- Watch each of the videos on Newton's Laws and Gravity and Inertia. Take Cornell notes for each video. Be sure to create at least one essential question that can be answered in your summary for each video.
- Click the link for Flocabulary and complete the lessons on Force and Motion that have been assigned to you.
- You will be graded for your notes and Flocabulary scores will go into the grade book. Please do your best!
Day 1: Stations 2 & 3 Newton's Laws of Motion Discovery/Day 2 Swap with Station 1& 4
- Complete the Newton's Laws Warm Up using the video link on this page. The link printed on page 1 of the lab sheet is inactive. (this should only take a maximum of 6 minutes). Complete the table on page 1 as you watch the video.
- You can complete the 3 discovery labs in any order you like. All 3 must be completed today.
- For Wacky Washers, Magician's trick, and Penny Slide there is a lab sheet for you to write your observations and jot down your data. You should also include pictures or diagrams of your observations.
- Complete the Frayer model for Newton's 1st law and Newton's 3rd Law based on what you have learned in class and through your observations of these labs. If you are not able to complete this step during class it will be considered homework and I will collect it at the beginning of class .
