Part 1: Collision Lab - Simulation (Open in Puffin iPad)
Part 2: Elastic Lab
Part 3: Problem Set - Momentum
Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Momentum: the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.
Momentum affects what actually happens when two objects collide! Today you are going to be analyzing elastic and inelastic collisions. Elastic collisions tend to transfer more kinetic energy back onto the original object (Equal and opposite reaction). Complete the lab below with your group.
- Listing of STEM Resources K-12 to utilize within the classroom environment. Great site to explore to get ideas
- "PBS offers all Americans the opportunity to explore new ideas and new worlds related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning through television and online content. On-line broadband access and digital media are dramatically changing the opportunities available to the nation’s educators improving STEM education. "
NASA Educator Resources by Grade Level
- NASA developed resources for educators and students.
- Interactive Math and Science Simulations
Extension 2: Why is it that water molecules sticks together?
For the assessment 2/13/2015 - Extra Credit! Be able to identify how polarity can affect how well different molecules "stick" together. Run the simulation below and identify the difference between Low Polarity and High Polarity based molecules.
Use the interactive simulation and share your thoughts. Additional information is on Schoology.
