Today we are racing the Mousetrap Cars...the write-up for this performance task is on Monday and Tuesday of next week.

Today we are learning about the law of conservation of energy!

Today we are completing all of the kinetic energy work and worksheets from last nights lesson and examples (the video tutorials).  Tonight's homework is to learn about gravitational potential energy...

Today we are learning how to formalize and quantify the Kinetic Energy that a moving object has.  Watch the video lesson, write the notes and do the example problems.  Then work on the problems that follow.

• Kinetic Energy Notes/Examples & Video Lesson
• Kinetic Energy Problems
• Kinetic Energy Warm-up (Additional Problems)
• Work Energy Theorem & Kinetic Energy (2 Methods)

Today is test day!  Good luck.

Today we are finishing up the Friction package and then completing the Dynamics Review package in preparation for the test on Monday.

Today we learned about Friction and the "fun" equation!

Today we will work on some review as I will out coaching.

• Dynamics Review Package (Do Part A #1-12 and Part B)
  

Today we will be learning the difference between mass & weight and learning about how Newton's 3rd Law is responsible for Terminal Velocity of objects falling in a gas or fluid.

• Terminal Velocity PPT
• Terminal Velocity (Student Notes)
• Mass vs. Weight - Notes
• Mass vs. Weight - Questions
• Mass vs. Weight - reading
