Students will be able to:
-distinguish between protons, neutrons, and electrons.
-explain that atoms are the smallest unit of an element and are composed of subatomic particles.
-describe how the atomic theory was developed.
-review forces and changes in motion.
Students answered bell ringer questions using the paddles during a showdown.
Students also received the handout to record their television viewing of a closed caption science show. It is not due until Monday.
Students reviewed the ETO lesson on force and motion.
Basically, they reviewed the following information:
-A force is a push or pull on an object that causes the object to move by speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
-Forces can be balanced or unbalanced.
-when two unbalanced forces act in the same direction, the net forces is the sum of the two individual forces.
-when two unbalanced forces act in opposite directions, the net force is the difference between the two individual forces.
-when two equal or balanced forces act in opposite directions, they cancel each other out, and the object does not move.
Forces may be contact forces, such as friction, or non-contact forces, such as gravity, electric force, and magnetic force.
Students watched a BrainPop movie on the Periodic Table and some classes also watched the Atoms movie (from last week).
Students were given marshmallows and a periodic table and asked to make three dimensional models of atoms.
Students had no nightly home learning, but should continue to research and work on their science fair project.
