Assessment and Independent Study

Learning Target: 
  • I can demonstrate my understanding of balanced and unbalanced forces
HOWLs Target:
  • I keep working until the task is complete.
Agenda
  • Warm-up: FORCES ON THE COW
    • Draw a free body diagram of the forces acting on a cow that a small dog is pulling on (the cow is not moving).
    • Are the forces balanced or unbalanced?
    • What direction is the net force?

Final Snow Tubing Work Day

Learning Target: 
  • I can write a claim and support it with evidence and reasoning
HOWLs Target:
  • I keep working until the task is complete.
Agenda
  • Warm-up: FRICTION (2min)
    • What effect did weather have on our snow tubing trip?
  • Snow tubing Data Analysis worksheet
    • Average times
    • Average speeds
    • Desmos graphing
  • Compare and Contrast speeds at 20m, 120m, and graphed lines.
    • example: At 20m the push start was faster by 2.5m/s than the sit start.
  • Evidence sentences for 20m, 120m, and graphed lines
    • example: The push start was faster at 20m which supports the claim that a push start is a faster tubing method.
  • Free-Body Diagrams
    • draw vectors for F(g), F(n), F(f), and if needed F(a) for both the control and your classes variable (double tube, running start, or spin start)
  • Reasoning Section
    • Compare the free body diagrams 
      • What forces are the same in both diagrams?
        • ex: The control and the push start are similar because both tubing methods have the same force of ...
      • Do both diagrams have unbalanced forces?
    • Contrast free body diagrams 
      • How are the diagrams different? 
        • ex. In contrast to the control, the push start has an applied force acting...
      • Are the net forces the same or different?
    • How does the difference or similarities between the free body diagrams cause what you state in the claim?
