Physical Science A(Monday)

Bellwork:
    -Why is it that when a car travels around a curve, you feel a pull to the outside?

    -What are some examples of situations where you have felt similar types of interaction acting on your     body?

Today:
    -I will collect the test remediation and check the vocabulary.  Please have these out.

Objectives:
    -Be able to calculate the acceleration of an object given the changes in velocity and change in time. 
    -Identify type of motion an object is experiencing given a velocity vs. time graph.

Discuss acceleration, what causes acceleration, and how to calculate the acceleration of an object.

Math Problems:
    Discuss and go over example of how to calculate the acceleration of an object.

HW: Finish the acceleration problems on the math packet. 

-We will go over these tomorrow in class.

These videos discuss acceleration, calculating acceleration, and velocity vs. time graphs



Physical Science B

Bellwork:
    None for today.

Today is the day to catch up on things.  We will do a little review activity.

You will be assigned to a number group.  Each group will be assigned a set of questions.  Once you have discuss the answers and explained everything to everyone in your group, we will switch to the letter groups that you are assigned.  Each person in the letter group will have covered a separate set of questions.  You will be in charge of helping the rest of your letter group go through and understand the questions from your set.

HW: Be sure to read section 3 of chapter 7.  Do the questions on page 213(all).
