Day 72
(IWB - Day 72 Momentum)
Today we finished off Chapter 5 notes by discussing momentum. We went out in the hallway to demonstrate how objects with the same mass but different speeds have different momentum. We also learned that objects traveling at the same speed but with different masses have different momentum. Students worked on five momentum problems on page 5-12 and volunteers went to the board to show the correct solutions to those problems. We ended class with students completing the crossword review puzzle on page 5-17.
News article #16 is due on Monday, and the Chapter 5 test will be on Tuesday, December 18th.

Students used their data from Tuesday's lab to create a speed-time line graph. They used their line to answer the conclusion questions on page 5-10. Students then worked in their groups to complete worksheet 5-7, which had nine problems for finding acceleration. After going over those answers, we completed worksheet 5-8 together.

Day 69
(IWB - Day 69 Marble Ramp Lab)
Students used worksheets 5-9 & 5-10 to work through today's lab. They were tasked with timing how long it took a marble to roll different distances down a ramp. They used their distances and times to calculate the speed for each trial. Each trial was done a minimum of 5 times and recording the average time. The graph will be done on Thursday.

Day 68
(IWB - Day 68 Speed Graphs)
Students turned in their 15th week of science news articles. We discussed section 5-2 notes on slope of a graph, and I referred students to the graph sample pages in their notes. I told them that 11 of their 25 test questions will be on reading and interpreting speed-time and distance-time graphs. Finally, students worked on worksheet 5-3 (# 5, 6 & 7), and we went over the solutions before the end of class.

Day 65
(IWB - Day 65 Speed Hallway Lab)
Students were given a double-sided handout today that was the foundation of our lab. Students worked with their partners in the hallway by the guidance office. They timed each other on how long it took them to hop, walk, speed walk and walk backwards a distance of 5 & 10 meters. Once we collected all the data, students returned to the classroom to determine their speeds for each exercise. We also used the backside of the lab to extrapolate some answers based on their calculated speeds.
