Section outline

  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


    We are FOCUSING on identifying how forces work.

    We are FOCUSING on selecting information about forces and explaining our understanding of it.


    Success Criteria: I can...

    • Write answers to questions about forces.
    • Connect information about forces.
    • Read an article about forces.


                                                                                                              Achievement Objectives:

    Explore, describe, and represent patterns and trends for everyday examples of physical phenomena, such as forces.


    Activities:


    Tuesday


    • The students will first watch this   of physics in the circus.
    • Then the students will label and draw 6 more pictures which show Newton’s second law in their science books. Also, they will write an explanation for each picture for why it shows Newton’s third law.
    • Afterwards, they will Look at this website about different types of circus acts. Then they will create a slideshow of circus acts that show Newton’s third law.
    • Finally, they will write a list of a minimum of 20 objects which show Newton’s third law and explain how in different situations for when it would be showing Newton’s third law.

                                                                                                                   Thursday


    • The students will first watch this   of "The Marauder."
      • In their science books the students will write and answer the questions below:

        1. Before you read this, what is Newton's third law? 

        2. List stories, films, books which show Newton's second third law in them.

        3. What similarities or consistencies are there between them.

      • Students will then read the article Einstein taught us: It's all 'relative.'

      • They will write any keywords and scientific vocabulary which is related to Newton's third law.
      • Finally, they will rule a 10cm by 10cm frame and draw a picture, icon, or meme that represents the concept/theme of Newton's third law.
      OR

      They will complete the "Einstein taught us: It's all 'relative'" grid.
