9/24

Objective: SWBAT explore the effects of changing force on an object and mass of an object on that object's acceleration.

Warm Up: Choose a group of NO MORE THAN 3 students to work with. Make sure you are working with someone you haven't worked with so far this year (failure to follow these directions will result in a 10 point deduction in your lab's grades.  Pick up one white lab handout and one yellow handout PER GROUP.  As a group, preread the instructions on both lab handouts.

9/21

Objective:  SWBAT calculate the weight of an object and distinguish this from the object's mass.

Warm Up:  What is your mass?  What is your weight on Earth?  What is your mass on the moon?  What is your weight on the moon?  Use correct SI units, please!

9/20

Objective:  SWBAT understand the concept of inertia and how it relates to motion.

Warm Up:  Get into a group of 2 or 3.  Pick up the lab handouts.  Answer the pre-lab questions.

9/18

Objective:  SWBAT review for tomorrow's test on 2 D kinematics

Warm Up:  Determine what is happening to the objects motion based on the signs

                      v                              a

9/17

Objective:  SWBAT solve problems involving 2 D kinematics.

Warm Up:  What variables do you know at ymax that are usually not stated in the problem?

9/13

Objective:  SWBAT perform an experiment to determine the effect of the angle of the launch of a projectile on its range.

Warm Up:  Pick up one lab handout.  SILENTLY pre-read the lab.  Write (on the bottom of the front page of the lab) a one sentence summary for what you are testing in Part A and another sentence summarizing what you are testing in Part B.

9/11

Objective:  SWBAT demonstrate their knowledge of 1 D physics on an exam.

Warm Up:  Pick up your scantron.  Green side today!  Get out a calculator and pencil.
