Summarize and NoteTaking
• PHYS.2E Design and implement investigative
procedures including making observations,
asking well-defined questions, formulating
testable hypotheses, identifying variables,
selecting appropriate equipment and
technology, and evaluating numerical answers
for reasonableness.
• PHYS.2H Make measurements with accuracy
and precision and record data using scientific
notation and International System (SI) units.
• PHYS.2J Organize and evaluate data and make
inferences from data including the use of tables,
charts, and graphs.
• PHYS.2K Communicate valid conclusions
supported by the data through various methods
such as lab reports, labeled drawings, graphic
organizers, journals, summaries, oral reports,
and technology-based reports.
• PHYS.2L Express and manipulate relationships
among physical variables quantitatively
including the use of graphs, charts, and
equations.
• PHYS.3E Research and describe the
connections between physics and future
careers.
• Ⓡ PHYS.6C Calculate the mechanical energy of,
power generated within, impulse applied to,
and momentum of a physical system.

Why is safety important
during a laboratory
investigation?
Why is safety in the science
classroom a number one
priority for teachers,
students, and parents?
How do we
investigate/understand and
communicate the study of
natural phenomena?
 ELPS.C.1.b Monitor oral and written language production and employ
self-corrective techniques or other resources.
 ELPS.C.2.b Recognize elements of the English sound system in newly
acquired vocabulary such as long and short vowels, silent letters, and
consonant clusters.
 ELPS.C.3.b Expand and internalize initial English vocabulary by learning
and using high-frequency English words necessary for identifying and
describing people, places, and objects, by retelling simple stories and
basic information represented or supported by pictures, and by learning
and using routine language needed for classroom communication.
 ELPS C.1.d Speak using learning strategies such as requesting
assistance, employing non-verbal cues, and using synonyms and
circumlocution (conveying ideas by defining or describing when exact
English word are not known).
 ELPS C.2.a Distinguish sounds and intonation patterns of English with
increasing ease.
 ELPS C.3.a Practice producing sounds of newly acquired vocabulary
such as long and short vowels, silent letters, and consonant clusters to
pronounce English words in a manner that is increasingly
comprehensible.
 ELPS C.1.f Use accessible language and learn new and essential
language in the process.
 ELPS C.2.c Learn new language structures, expressions, and basic and
academic vocabulary heard during classroom instruction and interactions.
 ELPS C.3.c Speak using a variety of grammatical structures, sentence
lengths, sentence types, and connecting words with increasing accuracy
and ease as more English is learned.
 CCRS VIII.C.1 Understand the fundamental concepts of kinematics.
 CCRS VIII.C.2 Understand forces and Newton’s Laws
 CCRS VIII.A. Understand Concurrent and Resultant Forces.
