The Science QOW
Week of 9/14 - 9/18
What are Newton’s Laws of Motion?
An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.
Whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first.
Sir Isaac Newton worked in many areas of mathematics and physics. He developed the theories of gravitation in 1666 when he was only 23 years old. In 1686, he presented his three laws of motion in the “Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis.” By developing his three laws of motion, Newton revolutionized science. Newton’s laws together with Kepler’s Laws explained why planets move in elliptical orbits rather than in circles.

Science Bee
Science Bee
All WMS 7th & 8th graders will have an opportunity to take a Science Bee qualifying test - date to be determined. This test will be taken during the day in Science class. The top scorers on the qualifying test will be invited to participate in the WMS Science Bee. This contest is sponsored by IAC-International Academic Competitions.
Sponsored by the University of Nebraska State Museum at Morrill Hall, click the image above to learn about different astronomy topics through virtual Planetarium experiences. These videos will discuss planets, constellations, the moon and other aspects of space and the galaxy.
