Unit 2: Forces and Motion Collaborative Wiki

 

 

     

This unit focuses on Motion (reference point, speed, velocity, acceleration) and Forces (Types of Forces, Drawing Force Arrow Diagrams, and Calculating Net Force) We will collect data for objects that speed up, slow down, and stay at a constant speed and then analyze why these objects had this motion. While working on this unit we will continue to strengthen our skills learned from unit 1. The culminating project will be the Balloon Powered Car Project.

 

 

Wiki Requirements: 

1. Front Page:

  • A title

  • A description of the Unit 2 Wiki - DO NOT just copy and paste what I have written above.

  • A few pictures from this Unit

  • The name of everyone in your group - Only your first name

  • Standards covered in this Unit - You can just copy and paste the standards from this page into your wiki

 

2. Side Bar: 

  • Remember, every page in your Wiki should be one click away.  Copy and Paste the ENTIRE Side Bar Mr. Ozeni has already created.  However, you will be responsible for linking everything to your own pages.

 

3. Assignments/Labs:

  • Each day, we will be working on an assignment that covers all the topics from Unit 2.  These assignments will be sent via Google Docs. 

  • Your group will work on the Google Docs collaboratively.  Once you feel as though the Assignment is completely finished, copy and paste the entire document into a new page in the Wiki. 

  • Make sure to link this activity into the Side Bar so Mr. Ozeni and other students can access the assignment. 

  • Requirements for each Assignment/Lab is found below.

 

 

8th Grade Science Standards Covered:

  1. The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position. As a basis for understanding this concept:
    1. Students know position is defined in relation to some choice of a standard reference point and a set of reference directions.
    2. Students know that average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time elapsed and that the speed of an object along the path traveled can vary.
    3. Students know how to solve problems involving distance, time, and average speed.
    4. Students know the velocity of an object must be described by specifying both the direction and the speed of the object.
    5. Students know changes in velocity may be due to changes in speed, direction, or both.
    6. Students know how to interpret graphs of position versus time and graphs of speed versus time for motion in a single direction.
  2. Unbalanced forces causes change in velocity. As a basis for understanding this concept:
    1. Students know a force has both direction and magnitude.
    2. Students know when an object is subject to two or more forces at once, the result is the cumulative effect of all the forces.
    3. Students know when the forces on an object are balanced, the motion of the object does not change.
    4. Students know how to identify separately the two or more forces that are acting on a single static object, including gravity, elastic forces due to tension or compression in matter, and friction.
    5. 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).
    6. Students know the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to achieve the same rate of change in motion.
  3. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other three strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will:
    1. Recognize the slope of the linear graph as the constant in the relationship y=kx and apply this principle in interpreting graphs constructed from data.
    2. Construct appropriate graphs from data and develop quantitative statements about the relationships between variables.
    3. Apply simple mathematic relationships to determine a missing quantity in a mathematic expression, given the two remaining terms (including speed = distance/time, density = mass/volume, force = pressure × area, volume = area × height).
    4. Distinguish between linear and nonlinear relationships on a graph of data.
