Physical Science A ( Thursday)
Bellwork:
1. What does the mechanical advantage of a machine indicate? If the value of the mechanical advantage is less than 1, what does that indicate about the machine?
2. How does the amount of work done compare for the following situations:
a. Climbing a ladder up to a loft.
b. Walking up a plank up to the same loft.
3. IF a situation requires 1200 J of work to perform, which will require more power, if the work is done quickly or slowly?
Work and Power Quiz
Discuss machines, mechanical advantage, and efficiency.
HW: Simple Machines: You will have to research all six types of simple machines. For each type of simple machine you should: explain how it works, the different types of each, how to increase the mechanical advantage, and how to decrease the mechanical advantage.
For this assignment I will expect a drawing of each type of machine, followed by a paragraph explanation for each type of simple machine.
HW:The simple machine explanation will be collected tomorrow.
Physical Science B
Test Today! Please have your computers out and log into examview. Make sure that you have a sheet of paper to write your answers down on. If you would like a paper copy, please ask.
When you have finished please work on the vocabulary for the ecology unit. We will be switching from using the physical science text to using the biology text.
Secondly:
-Read and take notes of Chapter 3.
-Focus on a. What is Ecology?
b. What are the levels of organization within the biosphere?
c. What are the different ways that living things obtain energy?
d. How does energy flow through an ecosystem?
e. How do nutrients and chemical cycle through an ecosystem?
HW: Read the chapter, take notes on chapter 3, finish the vocabulary.

Physical Science A
We will finish the muscle up lab. Be sure to check your calculations, answer the questions at the end.
Explain the inclined plane problem. Show how to set up the track. Investigate which scenario requires more work. When finished answer the questions.
Objectives:
1. Compare work done in different situations. Give two examples of work being done and
compare the magnitude of the work in each situation.
2. Explain why work has a more precise scientific meaning than the meaning of work in everyday language.
3. Calculate the amount of work done on an object that is moved from one position to another. Use the formula W=Fd to solve for the work done by an object.
HW: Section two review questions, Answer the questions on both activities(muscle up and inclined plane).
Bonus Work: You can pick up the additional problems for work and power. Also, begin working through the chapter review at the end.
Physical Science B
Bellwork:
1. Let's go over the review sheet and discuss any problem questions that you may have had.
2. Read and discuss article.
Practice test.
When everyone has finished the practice test, we will go over the answers and touch on a few key points.
HW: Study for the test. Test is tomorrow.

2. Explain why work has a more precise scientific meaning than the meaning of work in everyday language.
3. Calculate the amount of work done on an object that is moved from one position to another. Use the formula W=Fd to solve for the work done by an object.
Check and Go over the homework problems.
Muscle up Lab. Each group will perform five activities where they will calculate the work done and the power used.
HW: Finish the lab questions. Read section one and two in the book and answer the questions on page 131. Quiz wed. over work and power.
Physical Science B
Welcome back after a long weekend!
Bellwork:
1. How are the different products separated from petroleum. What is this process called?
2. Currently, how much of our energy is produced using solar energy? What are some other terms used to describe solar energy?
3. What does the term biomass refer to?
Check and work in groups to compare and check the answers for the homework. Within each group discuss the answers to what you had found with the homework. If a person in your group is struggling with the material, take the time to explain and help. Also, call me over to help too. By the end of the day, we should have both assignments checked and gone over. We will hit on key points of each of the renewable resources and I will hand out the review sheet.
Finish renewable resources.
HW: Review sheet. We will have a practice test tomorrow and a test on thursday.
