S:What is the net force for each example?

Explain your answer.

P:Turgor pressure is…

The pressure exerted by water inside the cell against the cell wall.

A:Take notes as we go along.

C:Edusmart interactivity. Draw and label each step.

Quiz : Forces affect Plant GrowthE:Write 3 sentences about what you learned today about forces and plants

10.8.13 Turgor pressure Lab• We will demonstrate forces of nature by examining potato samples• TEK 7.7 the student knows that there is a relationship among force,

motion and energy

DRAW the Pyramid.1) Label the trophic levels2)IF the herbivores have 100,000 Kcal, label all The other levels with thecorrect energy

Answer while you watch Plant Video

1. Plants need _______ and_____to keep on going.

2. A ____ _____ surrounds a plant cell.

3. Plant cells push water into the ________.

4. Water in vacuoles provide _______ pressure which makes a plant _______.

5. When cells lose water _____ ______ drops and the plant ________.

P

• Purpose- we will use potatoes to view how turgor pressure works

• Infer: write what you know about turgor pressure

• Materials: Potato samples, hand lens, microscopes

10.9.14 Trashket Review• We will review for our exam on force, motion, and energy by playing

trashkit.

S- Did this cat do work in scientific terms. Justify your answer!

• Things I need to know for my test:

1.Contrast situations where work is done with different amounts of force to situations where no work is done such as moving a box with a ramp and without a ramp or standing still.

2.Demonstrate and illustrate forces that affect motion in everyday life such as emergence of seedlings, turgor pressure and geotropism.

3. Diagram flow of energy through living systems including food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids.

Rules: 1.One person shoots at a time from each group. 2.Must have the correct answer and make the basket first3.When the music stops you must be seated and quiet to listen to an explaination.

Work or no work

• Describe if work is being done at each part of the graph. How do you know?

• Is this person doing more work or less work. Explain.

Work or No Work

Work or no Work?

Reading a science book

Work or No Work?

• Turning the page of a book

Work or No Work

• During a lab a student applies a force to a box but the box remains stationary.

Work or No Work

• Swinging a Bat

• What is the equation for work?

• Sally pushes the 3 N box 4 m. How much work did she do?

• Why do roots grow down toward the center of the earth?

• What keeps plants from wilting

• If I have a longer ramp will it change the amount of work I need to move an object?

• Why are wheel chair ramps so long?

• What safety equipment should you always use?

This is an example of ________

Explain this picture with your vocabulary

• Bob and George are fighting over if a ramp is less work or more work. Who is correct?

If ramps don’t change the total amount of work being done, why do we use them?

• Students were conducting and experiment on the photosynthesis. Placed a strawberry plant in direct sunlight and one in indirect sunlight and one in the dark. What is the independent variable?

• Based of what you know about energy transformations. In the previous question, Why did the plant with no light not produce strawberries?

• What axis does the independent variable go on?

• What is a dependent variable?

Which liquid is the least dense?

• This is a…• It measures… • In units of …

Which organisms compete for insects?

• Where does the Kookaburra get its energy from in this food web?
