  1. livestream

  2. went over solutions to review packets: CV review packet and CA review packet

  3. discussed video demo and developed Newton's 1st Law: An object will maintain a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force

  4. reviewed demo to show how pushes/pulls (forces) change motion (data here)...students came up with Newton's 1st Law: An object will maintain a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force (defined as a push or pull in a particular direction) (summary here)

  5. discussed how forces can be represented by arrows: magnitude is represented by length of arrow; direction is represented by direction arrow points

  6. discussed types of forces...developed the idea that the normal force is the force that a surface exerts on an object touching it...it is called the "normal force" since it pushes out always in a perpendicular, or normal, direction (force catalog here)

  7. discussed the nature of the normal force - normal forces are forces that occur when surfaces push against each other. The direction of this force is always perpendicular (or normal) to the surface.

  8. discussed the appropriate use of interaction diagrams to identify interaction forces between objects

  9. students worked on Unit 2 Practice 1, a series of situations in which students identified the forces acting on a block and sketched appropriate force diagrams...each vector representing a force was labeled using the "on,by" subscript notation.
