Conservation of Energy Day 7

Elastic Collisions

What: SWBAT solve problems to calculate the momentum of objects after an elastic collision.

How: By solving for final momentum on an exit slip with released CST word problems.

Why: To be critical thinkers we need to connect our prior knowledge of momentum to real life and the ways that we see momentum transferred between objects.

Agenda:
1. Do Now- 10 min
2. Matrix Collisions - 10 min
3. Elastic Collision Notes - 10 min
4. White Board Practice - 10 min
5. HW/Practice Questions - 10 min

What different types of collisions do you see in this video?

Conservation of Energy Day 6

Inelastic Collisions

What: Students will be able to use an equation to solve problems of conservation of momentum with inelastic collisions.
How: Students will complete a multiple choice exit slip to solve word problems
Why: To be critical thinkers we will use our prior knowledge of calculating the momentum of an object to determine how momentum is transferred in collisions.
