10/5
Students know when the forces on an object are balanced, the motion of the object does not change.
Students explore Newton's First Law. In small groups, students explore a detail of Newton's First Law. Students then act out an explanation of the details of Newton's First Law.
Students do Section 13.1 (1-4)
10/8
Students know a force has both direction and magnitude.
Students know when an object is subject to two or more forces at once, the result is the cumulative effect of all the forces.
Students know that when the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will change its velocity (that is, it will speed up, slow down, or change direction).
Students watch a Brainpop video on forces. Students answer questions and copy down important vocabulary.
Students read section 13.1 in their book. Define important terms and answer key questions.
10/9
Students measured their and object's force on earth and compared it to the force
10/10
Students explored forces, particularly friction and its effects on daily life.
Students discovered the effects of friction. They scripted scenes that depict friction.
10/11
Students finished patterns lab. Students turned pictures into a table, and then a table into a graph noting the differences between perimeter and area.

Students know when an object is subject to two or more forces at once, the result is the cumulative effect of all the forces.
Students know when the forces on an object are balanced, the motion of the object does not change.
Students know that when the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will change its velocity (that is, it will speed up, slow down, or change direction).
Students will watch Brainpop video on Newton's Three Laws. They will answer questions.
Students will cut out pictures representing different parts of Newton's Laws. They will display explanations and examples on poster.
10/10
Students will begin pre-lab for Tug of War Project.
Students will weigh each other. They will answer questions theorizing certain results.
Students will answer pre-lab questions about the experiment.
Students will have tug of war with different scenarios. They will note their findings.
