1. Go through your Motion Notebook
*Color code or highlight important ideas and vocab
*Use sticky notes to write summaries and connections between ideas
*Pay close attention to summaries, conclusions, diagrams and examples that
help your brain understand the concepts
2. Review vocabulary
*Review the meaning of words
*Practice applying the words to your sport/hobby or other motion example
*Create your own diagrams, memory devices and examples that help you
remember the following words…
Speed (or Rate): a measure of how fast an object moves through a distance
over a definite time period
Velocity: Speed and Direction
Acceleration: A change in velocity
Positive Acceleration: Increase velocity
Negative Acceleration: Decrease velocity
Zero Acceleration: No change in velocity
Newton’s 1st Law: An object in motion stays in motion, an object at rest
stays at rest, until another force acts on it.
Inertia: the tendency of an object to resist change in its motion.
Newton’s 2nd Law: The acceleration of an object increases with increased
force and decreases with increased mass. (f = ma)
Newton’s 3rd Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

3. Review how to calculate motion
*Memorize the formula for speed and practice calculating it
*Practice calculating the following: force, momentum, acceleration (You will
be given the formula for these)

4. Review forces
*Be able to match the 9 forces on the forces feedback quiz with their
definitions/examples
*List all of the forces you can think of that play a role in a bike trip. Explain
how each affects motion.
*Draw box/arrow diagrams and list examples of balanced and unbalanced
forces
