Section outline

  • Success Criteria:

    1) Describe Newton's Three Laws of Motion

    2) Explain examples of Newton's Three Laws 


    Newton's Third Law

    - For every force there is an equal and opposite force acting against it.




    Check out the interactive rocket simulator (click this link to get to the image below).  The rocket needs a force to move upwards and the opposing force is gravity.  Post which combination of mass, thrust, thrust time, drag and mass change helped you get the highest rocket. 




    Moving into Term 2 "Unexpected" Context 

    According to the Google dictionary, a superhero is "a benevolent fictional character with superhuman powers, such as Superman".

    We want to find out what the different powers are, the benefits and explore how they "could" occur. 


    In your group, select ONE superhero / comic movie.  Please make sure it is age appropriate so I don't get parent phone calls about your choice.  Watch the selected movie individually. 

    1) Identify the characters in the movie that exhibit superhuman powers (note: you may have more than one character so you need to identify them all!) 

    2) Describe the characters' superhuman powers

    3) Give reason to why /how the characters got these superhuman powers 

    4) Research to see if there are any similar human genetic disorders.  Several helpful links are listed below.  

    5) Put all the information into a Google Slideshow.  

    6) Next week we'll have Google Hangout for the groups to present their work in Google Slides (Wednesday).   Everyone in the class should be aiming to be in attendance of this Google Hangout session. 


    Groups:

    1) Nazanin, Gurleen, Alexia

    2) Martin, Paul, Nikhil

    3) Pranaal, Veeral, Brenan, Allan

    4) Joaquin, Daiton, Akash

    5) Clarissa, Kiana, Kashvi

    6) Nelly, Sharon, Yvanna, Diya, Irene

    7) Cong Cong, Kacey, Javed

    8) Mohit, Ricky, Daniel, Aiden
