Forces and Motion Lesson 8 •Describe how unbalanced forces cause changes in motion. •Describe how constant motion is due to balanced forces. Key Questions 1. Why does the rolling ball stop rolling? 2. What is constant motion? Review Newton’s First Law of Motion on page 23 • Highlight his first half of his law (first sentence only) Place frog on desk and apply force: Does the frog follow the law? What forces are acting on the object? Are they balanced or unbalanced? How do we know? Think-Pair-Share Summary • The force of the desk pushing up on the object and the force of gravity pushing down on the object are the forces acting upon the object. The forces are balanced, or zero-net, because the object is not moving. Review Newton’s First Law of Motion on page 23 • Highlight his second half of his first law (second sentence only) New Questions to Consider: Does the jumping frog obey the second part of Newton’s First Law Motion? Does the jumping frog stay in motion in a straight line? What forces are acting upon the jumping frog? Why does the object stop? All of these questions you will think about during this activity and develop conclusions based on your observations and activities. Activity 8- Intro Activity • Get into cooperative learning groups. • Using one sticky note per group, walk around the room with your group recording objects you see that obey the second half of Newton’s First Law of Motion. • Time: 3-5 minutes Intro Activity Criteria: • Brainstorm a list of objects in motion that travel in a straight line and continue to move without any external force acting on the object to keep it going. 1. Examples have to be objects. (For example, not light.) 2. Examples must include motion in a straight line. 3. Examples must show continuous movement without an external force. Share Results • What did you find? • Analyze examples Conclusion- Nothing!!! • If this is so, how did Newton, who lived about 350 years ago, come up with this idea? All he had were everyday experiences to observe…just like you! • Sometimes, simple observations do not always give enough information to explain what is happening in the physical world. There are forces that we cannot see that affect the motion of objects on Earth! Teacher Demonstration and Questions: • Demonstrate marble and ramp activity • Review questions on page 23 and answer: 1. What started the motion of the marble down the track? • A push (force) started the marble rolling. Describe the motion of the marble. • The marble traveled along the track at a rapid speed and then eventually slowed down and came to a stop. 3. Read Newton’s First Law of Motion. Describe how the marble “obeyed” or “disobeyed” Newton’s Law. • The marble “obeyed” Newton’s First Law of Motion by traveling in a straight path and remaining in motion until friction and gravity acted on the ball to slow its motion and eventually stop the marble. Conclusion • The forces of gravity and friction effect the motion of the marble and all moving objects on Earth. Complete Activity 8- Why Does the Rolling Ball Stop Rolling? Students will be grouped off into groups of 5 and into cooperative learning roles. Materials Needed: • Marble • Rolling track • 1 Metric rulers Students complete experiment according to directions in journal on pg 24.

Forces and Motion Lesson 9 •Describe the relationship between mass and weight. •Describe the relationship between the mass of an object and the motion of an object. Key Questions 1. What is the difference between mass and weight? 2. How does the mass of an object affect its motion? Key Terms • Find the term mass in your key terms. • Read the definition and highlight it. • Then, find the following key terms, read their definitions, and highlight them in your book: ▫ weight Want to find the best diet that is out of this world? • Go to the moon • Because weight is the measure of gravity on an object, a person can lose 5/6th of his or her weight just by going to the moon, where surface gravity is much weaker than on the Earth. However, even though a person would weigh less, would s/he have the same mass??? Think-Pair-Share Teacher Background- Review Today, you will be comparing the mass and weight of objects. In order to do this let’s first review Newton’s Second Law of Motion: An object’s acceleration depends on the mass of the object and the size of the force acting on it. Copy onto the top of pg 26 Force= mass x acceleration Let’s take a closer look at acceleration: Acceleration= is the rate of change in speed or direction of an object. You can accelerate by speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. *For this activity, you will only be measuring acceleration by change of speed! More interesting facts… • A greater unbalanced external force causes a greater acceleration of an object in the direction of the force. • The more mass an object has, the greater the force needed to accelerate it. Teacher Demonstration-Spring Scale Spring Scale: • Review how to zero spring scale • Review how to use the spring scale: ▫ Place the ball in the baggie and measure the weight of the ball Teacher Demonstration-Balance Balance: • Review units of measurement- grams • Review how to use the balance: ▫ Place the ball on one side of the balance and put weights on the other side until the balance is equal. ▫ Total the weights on the other side to get your total mass. Record Mass of Balls on pg 26 • Measure the mass of the balls: Teacher will complete first demonstration and pick students to complete measurement of other balls. All students will record data.
