what will we learn this year? motion speed distance divided by time (meters per second) velocity...

MOTIONSpeedDistance divided by Time

(meters per second)Velocity

Speed in a given direction (meters per second, south)

AccelerationChange in velocity

(meters per second per second)

Graphing these conceptsFor example…

FORCES(A Push or a Pull)Types of Forces:

GravityFrictionNormalElastic

Compression Tension

Newton’s Laws of MotionFirst Law: Inertia

Second Law: F=MA Force = Mass times

Acceleration

Third Law: Action/Reaction

Density/BuoyancyDensity: The amount of matter in a given

volume of a substance.Density = mass divided by volume

Buoyancy: An upward force exerted on an object by the surrounding fluid.

Properties of MatterWays to describe matter; color, texture,

shape, size, temperature, etc.States of Matter:

Solids, Liquids, and GasesChanges in Matter:

Physical ChangesChemical Changes

Atomic StructureAtoms

Nucleus Protons Neutrons

Electrons

Periodic Table

Acids & BasesCharacteristics of Acids:

-Taste Sour-Corrode metals-pH less than 7

Characteristics of Bases:-Taste Bitter-Feel Slippery-pH greater than 7

AstronomyAll of the Laws of Physics also apply in Space

so, what you’ve learned about the laws of Motion, Forces (gravity), Density, Buoyancy, Properties of Matter, Atomic Structure, and Acids & Bases help to fully understand the structure of the Universe.

Steps to success Be prepared each day with

all of your materials Pay attention! Stay

focused!! Ask specific questions

during the lesson if you are confused

Steps continued Be aware of any confusion

regarding assignments and ask me to help you to clear up your confusion.

Be thoughtful and thorough when doing assignments and finish them on time.

.. Go over the information each day for 5 to 10 minutes to keep it familiar
