Topic list for the exam is:
Scientific & engineering method
Hypothesis (measurable, directional & general), question, & purpose writing
Data graphing and statistics
Linear motion (velocity, speed, acceleration)
Momentum & impulse
Conservation of momentum (mv before = mv after)
Collisions (elastic & inelastic formulas)

Friday, 27 October 2017 - Classwork/Homework. Today we will begin the Lunar Lander Challenge. You will be introduced to the requirements and get to apply our previous work on concept sketches, scientific research, and knowledge of the change of momentum through maximizing impulse of the collision. Each student's research log should be detailed in a professional and organized fashion and ALL SKETCHES must be done on graph paper, no exceptions.

Thursday, 26 October 2017 - Classwork
Due to the substitute by the end of class. Each student completes the work individually. You will have to work efficiently to meet the deadline of the end of class. Hand work from sections (1), (3), and (4) to the substitute.
Work to be completed in class:
(1) Watch the following video of Bob Thirsk, an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS) that summarizes the conservation of momentum and collisions. This is a really helpful perspective so everyone understands a little bit more about collisions and how momentum is conserved during one. Have a note set on this 4 minute video to staple to the parts (2) and (3) of the classwork.

(2) Read the great responses made to this question on a physics forum that a reader posted, "I guess an astronaut wouldn't be able to push in the empty space with his hands or legs to move himself, but with a rocket engine it's possible. How?" Right click and "go to" the link at the below. No work for this, just read, you'll be asked about parts of it on the exam next week.
https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/144546/what-is-a-rocket-engine-thrusting-against-in-space
(3) Can you make a soccer ball that is shot out of the back of an air cannon simply drop straight to the ground from the back of a moving pick up truk?? Talk to a classmate about whether or not you think this can actually happen. Once you've made your argument, the Mythbusters can help you to answer the question! Write your prediction beneath your notes for part (1) of today's work.

Complete the note set in your notebook, write your name on your paper and hand it in to the homework bin or give to the substitute (period 2) or put in homework bin (period 1). 5 videos are below and the notes should be completed individually. If the videos don't play from weebly, then you can type the title of the video directly into youtube to find it.
(2) Use the notes you have in your notebooks already to make sure you are rock stars in solving speed, velocity, and acceleration in your notebooks. This should be completed by the end of class and turned in with your note set. You will need to be super focused to get this all done by the end of class so have your A-game working. See you all tomorrow! Cheers, Mr. F.

Part Two: Hand in your pre-planning worksheet to the substitute along with your class worksheet.
Part Three: this class is an EXCELLENT opportunity to collaborate with your group members on your science fair project. With your pre-planning worksheet done, you can start working on the next step. If this is designing your experiment, write the brainstorming down (sketches, notes...etc) in your science fair logbook. Your logbooks will be checked and given points to show me the work you've done thus far, when I'm back tomorrow. USE THIS TIME WISELY (45 minutes).

Weekend Homework - 30 Sept - 3 Oct 2016 - Graphing Motion Lesson (This is what is a flipped class, and you will see more of these as we go through the semester).
Part One: Go to the link (http://www.mathwarehouse.com/graphs/distance-time-graph-activity.php) and scroll down until you get to the interactive lesson. It is very simple but it will help you to understand how we graph motion by seeing your space shuttle navigate to the mother ship, then see it on the motion graph. Do this a few times and click on different parts of the motion line to see where your shuttle was on the X/Y coordinate system. Your goal is to be able to understand a motion graph ONLY in terms of your reference point and how that is translated to a graph.
Part Two: Watch the video below on how to interpret and graph motion, then complete the worksheet files below in your 3-ring notebooks. Label problem sets exactly as the files are labeled below. The worksheet answers are due on Tuesday when you come back after the long weekend.
