Goals:
1. Explain how Newton's 1st and 3rd Laws apply to the flight of a glider.
2. Analyze real world situations in terms of Newton's Third LAw
3. Describe what causes terminal velocity and show how it is related to the mass of the dropped object.
Activities:
Monday: Go over Test. Start Poster Project.
Tuesday: Finish Posters. Present to class.
Thursday: Coffee Filter Lab with Terminal Velocity
Friday: Go over results, review and quiz

Weeks 2 and 3 Feb 9 - Feb 20
Goals:
1. State Newton's First and Third Laws
2. Define inertia and relate it to mass.
3. Use the first law to explain motion.
4. Apply the third law to everyday situations including how a glider gets lift.
5. Describe the general effects of a net "unbalanced" force.
Activities
Mon9 - Friday 13 I had a sub.
Students watched October Sky and did problems from the textbook
Tues. 17: Lecture and work on practice problems
Blockday: Magnet Lab and Notes
Friday: Poster Project and Quiz. Turn in Notebooks.
Notebook Contents:
1. Questions from Textbook: p 362 1-4, 6; p. 369 1,3,4; p377 1, 5-7; p. 384 11-19, 28
2. October Sky worksheet.
3. Concept development worksheets (2)

Sem 2 week 1 Feb 2 - 6
Goals:
1. Know how a spring's stretch is related to the applied force.
2. Draw Force Diagrams correctly: Vectors(arrows) start on object feeling the force, direction is in the direction of the force, length is proportional to the force.
3. Know that forces are pushes or pulls
4. Know that no movement means the forces are balanced.
5. Know that weight is different than mass - it is the force due to gravity.
6. Know that 1 Newton is the weight of about 100 grams (two hexnuts).
Activities:
Mon: Explore how forces work together to affect the flight of a glider.
Tuesday: Lecture, notes and worksheet on Forces basics.
Thursday: Spring lab Finish graph and questions as homework.
Friday: Finish up lab. Review and Quiz.
Notebook:
1. Forces Exploration
2. Notes-Forces
3. Forces - Practice Worksheet
4. Spring Lab
