Today we learned how to use the triangle to solve for any variable in the 2nd law equation. We will continue working with this concept tomorrow after the friction quiz. We also started working on momentum and will continue this concept tomorrow as well.

Today we worked on moving the Newton's 2nd Law equation and solving problems related to it. Pre-AP will have a quiz on this tomorrow as a review for literal equations earlier in the semester.
Today we started learning about Newton's Laws by doing a few demos in class. We will continue to delve into the laws tomorrow as we work toward our car project for next week. I have uploaded the presentation below for anyone who missed it in class. It is finally time for the Newton's 3rd Law Car Races! This is one of my favorite projects because of the creativity involved. This project is due next Thursday, March 25th when we will race the cars in class. I have included the information given to all students below, but I would like to STRESS that is is a "trash to treasure" project. Use things you find around your house and be CREATIVE! There can be NO pre-fabricated parts on the cars! (For example, you cannot use a battery powered fan that you buy from a store. If you would like to learn about how to build a motor to power a fan using a battery--that is acceptable!) There will be BONUS POINTS awarded for the car that travels the course the QUICKEST!
The Pre-AP 3rd 9 weeks final exam will take place on Friday, March 11th. This exam will cover the following concepts:
To help us better understand graphing (and also because I lost my voice today) students completed an online lesson about Kinematics in 1 direction. I am posting the link for this lesson below for anyone who may have missed the lesson in class. Students are welcome to come before school or during 4th period to complete the online lesson if they cannot do it at home. There will be homework tonight on what students completed in class today.
Introduction to Kinematics Today students started examining graphs to determine how the slope of a line would affect the velocity of an object. We will be checking the classwork completed today during class tomorrow and moving on to more difficult graphs later in the week.
