Physics Block 7BC-7BC Assignments

Complete the Google Form - don't forget to click "Mark as Done" on this assignment when you are finished.

Take a picture of your poster and submit it here - even if it is still incomplete. (You can unsubmit and re-submit when it is complete).
The scoring rubric is attached for your reference.

Fill out the brief form below about your plan and your progress so far before the end of class today.

Open the attached slide deck. Independently solve any three problems in a row (horizontal, vertical or diagonal). Do your solutions on paper and submit a photo here.

Open the Google Doc below (there is a copy for each student).
Follow the directions and open the Energy Skate Park simulation.
Work with your group to solve/respond to each of the questions and problems on the Google Doc (Part II will have you design your own skate track and solve some problems on it).

Answer the five questions on the Google Form - make sure to explain each answer or show your work. 
Remember to click "Submit" or "Mark as Done" when you are finished.
You should use your ToolBox and Story So Far to help you.

On the slides linked below, create your own forces problem. See slides 2 & 3 for an example problem and solution. On slide 4 you write/draw your original problem and on slide 5 your write/draw your solution.

Complete the quiz on the Google Form. Click "Mark as done" button on this assignment when you are finished.

Your assignment is to conduct TWO lab investigations to see how force and mass affect the acceleration of an object. You will use a computer simulator to do this.
Open the simulator linked below and choose the "Acceleration" tab.
Open the Google Sheet linked below. It will guide you through every step of the two lab activities (there are three tabs/buttons at the bottom of the sheet - you start on the "Intro" one, follow the directions, then click the "a vs. Fnet" one and conduct the first lab investigation, then click the "a vs. mass" one and conduct the second lab investigation.

Completed lab reports (i.e. the Google Sheet) must be submitted before class on Friday, February 10th, so use you time wisely. You can conduct the investigations with a partner (i.e. set up the simulation the same) but EACH student must complete a lab report/Google Sheet.

Optional, extra-credit, assignment for Semester 2: Create an ORIGINAL meme related to Physics or our Physics class and submit it here.

Open the attached Google Sheet on a ChromeBook.
Repeat the steps that I demonstrated for graphing, linearizing and writing a mathematical model for Data Set 1.
Copy the original and linearized graph into Binder p.25 
Next, click the tabs at the bottom of the sheet to move on to Data Set 2, 3 and 4, using the flowchart on your desk to guide you: graph, linearize (only if necessary) and write a mathematical model for each. Copy each into Binder p25 & 26 as you work.

Spooky, Spine-Chilling, Science. 
On your ChromeBook, go to the website linked below.
Choose an article you are interested in.
Read the article, watch the video, listen to the audio etc.
Respond to the following Google Form linked below.

Choose ONE adult from your family, friends, or community to interview.
Ask them and record if/how they do each of the following activities in their job/career - even if it does not seem to be a “science” job!
Summarize their responses in a clear, coherent, paragraph. You can use the template attached. (If you choose to do it on paper, just write your name clearly on the page, take a photo, and submit it here.)
