Happy Friday.  Great first week of school!

Physics
Bellwork:
    -Grab a Metric Conversion Sheet. Work on the conversions.  We will spend a short period of time
    reviewing metric conversions. We will go over the answers.

Today, each group will explain their ideas on how the plane flies.  Relax, you are not graded on whether you were right or wrong, only the process used to come to the final conclusion.  Each group needs to hand in a formal explanation of their ideas on the mechanics of the plane.

Discuss the correct explanation.

HW: Read Chapter 2: One-Dimensional Motion.  As you read the chapter, take note on the material.  This will give you the opportunity to pay better attention as we discuss the material in class and will allow you to formulate questions as we talk.  Please answer the following questions: 9-13, 15-18, 25-28.  We will check these and go over them on Monday.


Physical Science A
Bellwork:
    1.  Why is the Scientific Method such an important part of science (the answer for this question is based 
         on your opinion, so don't worry if you have the right or wrong answer)?

    2.  What trouble will scientists have when they change more than one variable in an experiment?  Explain.

Wrap up the airplane activity.  Each group member will turn in their own lab sheet!  Each group should finish by the end of the period.

HW: Watch the video on metric conversions.  Do the practice conversion sheet at home over the weekend.  If you are struggling, don't worry, we will go over the process of Monday.

We will have a quiz/short test on Tuesday.  Make sure you study!
