W
hen you are riding in a car, how do you
know that the car is accelerating (that you
are going faster and faster)?
Newton’s 1st Law of Motion
A
n object at rest remains at rest, and an
object in motion remains in motion at
constant speed and in a straight line
unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

hat is the difference between mass and weight?
What SI units are used to measure mass and to measure weight?
Vocabulary
Inertia – things like to keep on doing what they are already doing
Force – a push or a pull Unbalanced Force – unequal force in
some direction that causes an object to move
Balanced Force – equal and opposite forces on an object that do not cause it to change what is it already doing
Vocabulary Weight – mass plus the pull of gravity on an
object• Measured in Newtons (N)
Mass – Amount of matter (stuff) in an object• Measured in grams (g)
Gravity– a force of attraction between 2 objects due to their masses
Friction – a force between 2 surfaces in contact with each other that opposes motion

hat are some rules that are important to follow when working with others in a group?
Write down 2 other students with whom you would like to work with in creating a roller coaster.
Science Notebook
Write down everything you do in your science notebook.
Include all measurements, drawings, ideas, and calculations.
You are responsible for keeping track of and cleaning up your materials.
Each group member must contribute.
Group rulesE
quipment Manager• Pick up supplies. Make sure all is cleaned up when finished.
D
ata Manager• Make sure everyone has all information recorded in notebook
D
irector and Communication Manager• May ask the teacher questions for the group.• Makes sure everyone participates and stays on task

hat information do you need to write down in your notebook in order to determine how fast the marble traveled and for someone else to be able to re-create your roller coaster?
Write down this info!
M
easure length of track first.
M
easure height from the floor at start.
M
easure diameter of loop.
T
ime the marble at least 5 times.
C
alculate speed in meters per second.

ook at your speed calculation for your marble. On the half piece of graph paper, turned the long way, graph the average speed of your marble.
You should have 5 lines, one for each of your marble runs.
Agenda When you are finished, get a text
book from the cabinet by the door. We are going to practice using the
Q-notes reading technique that you learned in Panther time.
Chapter 5, Section 2, Pages 124-127.
Divide your next open page in half, the long way, like a hot dog.
Q-Notes Survey the headings and write at the top, what
you think the reading is about. Read the first red heading and change it into a
question. Write this question on the left-hand side of your page.
Read the section to answer the topic question. Look at the picture and read the caption at the
bottom of the page. Describe in your own words how the picture
fits the information you just read. Do this on the left-hand side.
Q-notes
Turn the next sub-heading (blue) into a question (right side) and write the answer (left side).
Continue writing questions and finding answers for the remainder of the chapter.
Don’t forget the pictures and captions. Summarize at bottom what the
chapter was about.
Journal Question

Look at the graph you did yesterday. • How far did your marble go in 1 second?• What was the speed of your marble?
• Level 2: How far would your marble go if you let it roll for 10 seconds?
Q- Notes F
inish reading the Chapter 5, Section 2.C
ontinue using the Q-Note technique.I
will be checking your notebooks for how well you follow directions and the completeness of your answers.
When you are finished, study what you wrote.
Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion
T
he acceleration of an object
depends on the mass of the
object and the amount of
force applied.
Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion
W
henever one object exerts a
force on a second object, the
second object exerts an equal
and opposite force on the first.
