Digital Agenda August 21: Newton's Laws Cornell Notes

Standards:

MS-PS2-2:  Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.

Objectives
1. Explain how Newton's Laws are used to explain how and why things move by completing the "Newton's Laws of Motion" Cornell Notes with an 3 or better


1. Do Now: Newton's Laws Pre-Quiz


Independent
Mandatory
1. Set up your Cornell Notes to match the image below (Vocab words and questions go on the left side of the paper, definitions and answers go on the right side). Title Them "Newton's Laws Cornell Notes"

2. Watch the BrainPop Video "Newton's Laws of Motion" to take the Cornell Notes below (Due Friday 8/23 if you do not finish them in class)

Vocabulary (if you cannot find the definition in the video, google search "::word:: definition for kids")
Force
Balanced Force
Unbalanced Force
Mass
Inertia
Newton's First Law
Newton's Second Law
Newton's Third Law
Friction
Acceleration


Questions (Get answers from video)
1. Why did Isaac Newton create the laws of motion?
2. If a Car was traveling at 60mph, what speed is the driver moving? Why?
3. What would happen to the driver if the car in #2 suddenly came to a stop?
4. In order to make an object stop, what direction does the unbalanced force need to be applied?
5. Explain why the rock on the table didn't keep going when Moby flicked it.
6. What direction does friction act on an object when it is moving?
7. When Tim and Moby are sitting still on the sled, 2 forces are acting on them. Explain why Tim and Moby aren't moving even though those forces are acting on them. (draw it out)
8.  According to Newton's Second Law, why do Tim and Moby accelerate down the hill?
9. Explain why the door moved when Tim pushed on it, even though it pushed back at him with an equal force.
10. Draw and the force arrows for the scene in #9 to show why Tim did not move.

Cornell Notes Criteria for success:
- Notes are set up in Cornell Note format

- All vocabulary is defined in student friendly language (not copied from google)

- 8 or more of the questions are answered fully AND correctly, using information and examples from the video

- A summary of what was learned is at the bottom, using 2-3 complete sentences.

4= All success criteria is met
3= 3/4 success criteria is met
2= 2/4 success criteria is met
NP = none of the success criteria is met

Optional (ONLY AFTER YOU ARE FINISHED!!!!)
1. Play with this PhEt simulation to explore how changing masses affect the amount of force needed to move an object

2. Watch THIS BILL NYE on motion

3. Play the roller coaster building game
