So, Mrs. Flyte . . .

What are we going to do this quarter?

I’m so glad you asked!

If it’s in RED take notes!

It’s all about MOTION!LG2: describe science as an ongoing process that changes with new discoveries (isaac newton)LG4-8: understand the relationship between force and motion, including newton’s laws

Do you like to move?

Totally,dude!

Discuss and write anything you know about these 4 terms:FORCE – MOTION – ACCELERATION - MASS

BUT 1st – An important message from some famous

dead guys

Cheery-O! I’m Sir Francis Bacon. I don’t like to brag, but . . . . • I’m the guy who INVENTED THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD. (Although, I wasn’t called a scientist because that term wasn’t invented until 1840 – over 200 years after I died).

• I also proposed that HEAT IS MOTION (not a thing, silly!)

I’m Galileo Galilei• I proposed that ALL MOTION IS RELATIVE . . . NO – not like your little sister or your cousin!•It means MOTION CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED IN REFERENCE TO ANOTHER OBJECT – IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO!Hey, who’s that guy in the neck brace?

Who is the most important dead guy we’ll learn about this

quarter?

Sir Isaac NewtonTalk at your table and see if anyone knows anything about this dude (1 minute – GO!)

Raise your hand if your table discussed the “Apple –falling-

from –the- tree” guy?Well that’s him! Sir Isaac Newton is famous for many fields of scientific & mathematical discovery:

•Optics – the study of light •Calculus – a field of mathematics Mrs. Flyte failed in college (IT’S NOT EASY, BUT IT’S VERY IMPORTANT)!•Astronomy – the study of the stars & Planets•Alchemy – the precursor to chemistryAND . . . .

•Physics – THE STUDY OF MOTION (WHICH IS WHAT WE’LL BE STUDYING THIS QUARTER)

BTW – what is the “apple-tree” concept?

If I have seen a little further, it is by standing

on the shoulders of giants.

What did Sir Isaac Newton mean by this?

Let’s play a game!Mrs. Flyte will ask you a

question, and you will go to the corner of the room that

best describes YOU!

If you played any games over break, what did you play the

most of?

•A: Athletics (basketball, baseball, running, biking, etc.)•B: Board Games: (cards, monopoly, anything with dice, pieces, etc.)•C: Video Games•D: Other or none of the above

What describes the most exciting mode of travel you

used during break?

•A: Airplane

•B: Off-road vehicles

•C: car

•D: non-motorized (skateboard, bike, etc.)

If you could be one of these types of physics engineers,

what kind would you be?

•A: Race car pit crew

•B: Roller coaster designer

•C: Crash tester

•D: Aerospace engineer

(planes, rockets, and even cars &

watercraft!)

And the best part of 3rd Quarter?

NO GOGGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LG2: describe science as an ongoing process that changes with new discoveries (isaac newton)

LG4 - 8: understand the relationship between force and motion, newton’s laws
