Final Review

Today is yours to study whatever you need to for your Physics Final. I recommend starting out with either Bill Nye, the reading, definitions, or notes on the problems.  

The only sites you can access during class today (aside from the blog) are below:

FINAL Velocity Review

Quiz: Momentum and Collisions

Conservation of momentum in an slingshot.

What: SWBAT calculate how momentum is conserved in elastic and inelastic collisions.
How: By answering word problems correctly with 80% accuracy on the quiz!
Why: To be Academic Achievers we need to use everything we've learned to handle our business on today's quiz.  


Agenda:
1. Do Now - 10 min
2. Physics of slingshots - 5 min
3. Mixed review - 20 min
4. Write your own problems - 15 min
5. QUIZ!

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.

1. Do Now- Momentum practice questions - 10 min
2. Collision examples videos - 10 min

3. Collision drawings - Elastic and Inelastic - 15 min
4. Collision notes - 10 min
5. Collision white board practice - 15 min
6. Collision HW/practice- 15 min
7. Collision Exit Slip- 10 min

Conservation of Energy Day 5

Conservation of Momentum

Momentum is transferred from the running elephant to the car.

Objective:

What: SWBAT Use an equation to find the momentum of a moving object and synthesize 2 situations where momentum is transferred.

How: Students will correctly apply the equation to word problems with 80% accuracy on an exit slip and create a comic strip that shows the transfer of momentum with 80% accuracy.

Why: To be critical thinkers by connecting our prior lessons about the conservation of energy to the conservation of momentum in moving objects and collisions.  

Agenda:

1. Do Now - 10 min

2. Momentum videos - 5 min

3. Bill Nye Momentum - 30 min

4. Momentum clips - 10 min

5. Momentum comic strip - 15 min

6. Momentum notes - 10 min

7. White Board Practice - 10 min

8. HW / Exit Slip - 10 min

In boxing, the more mass behind a punch the more momentum.





The momentum of the bowling ball continues in the same direction as the car, and ends up hitting the back windshield off.  Momentum from the bowling ball flying through the air is transferred to the car's windshield, which flies off!


The momentum of the water in the water balloon is conserved because the momentum is transferred to his head and to the water moving out in all directions.
