Newtonian Story

We have been learning about Newton's Three Laws of Motion. Write a scenario in which a person would be able to observe all three of the laws of motion. You may collaborate for this blog responses.  

Derby Time

Jade and Alexis went to the demolition derby to observe Newton's three laws of motion. As they watched their favorite drivers Shane,Jakob, and Alonzo smashed into each others cars. Jade and Alexis were able to observe all three of Newton's laws of motion at the Derby. Using physics vocabulary and what you have learned describe how Alexis and Jade may have seen examples of all three laws of motion. 

Bumper Cars

Chris is on a bumper car ride. Two students in another car are head toward Chris for a collision. Kyle thinks this could be a great example to show Newton's Third Law. Do you agree with Kyle? Explain.

Please find and post Newton's Third Law.

Astronaut

Jack wanted to be an astronaut. He was telling Brooke that it took a lot of thrust to launch from  the Earth. He also told Brooke that you need thrust when landing on the moon. Brooke asked why you would need rockets when landing on the moon?  What do you think Jack told her? 

If you need help to figure out why try the link below. 

Moon Landing Game  

Outerspace

Owen said to Nick that it would be really easy to move things in outer space because there is no gravity. Yvette and Olivia overheard them talking and said they were wrong, they said it would take force to move something in outer space. Who do you agree with and why? 

Power LIfting

Kayla was bragging to Tim that she could lift a 200N weight. Tim was impressed by how much Kayla could lift. Kevin said it was not that much weight because of the units that Kayla was using. Do you agree with Kevin and why? 

Did it accelerate

Kobe pitches a baseball at 40 km/h east. Emily hits the ball at 40 km/h west. Did the ball accelerate? Explain. 

Aim for a Bullseye

Will got a new archery set for his birthday. Cole said he needed to aim higher than the target to get a bullseye. Will disagreed and asked Ethan what he thought. Ethan said the longer the arrow  in flight the more it would fall, so Will should aim higher. Do you think Ethan is correct? Explain. 

Go ahead and Jump

Spencer is planning on building a bungee jump tower in his backyard.  He wants the ride to last 5 seconds. The town says he cannot build a tower more than 50 meters  tall. Ana says the tower would have to be greater than 50 meters to get a five second ride. Camden disagrees he saying the rate of fall is just 9.8 meters per second due to gravity, therefore the tower would only need to be 49 meters tall. Who is correct Ana or Camden? Would Spencer be allowed to build his 5 second bungee jump tower? 

Falling Objects

Nigel says to Jimbo that the heavier an object is the faster it falls. Jimbo tells Nigel that he is wrong. Jimbo says that the longer an object is falling the faster it falls. Tanya says that there are more factors that are involved when objects fall. Who do you think is right and why?  

Speed and Momentum

Jake and Lewin were playing pass in the hallway. Lewin said that this was a good example of momentum.  Jake said it was a better example of speed. Nadia said that it was an example of both because speed is related to momentum. Who do you think was right and why? What is speed and what is momentum? 

Rolling Car

You roll a model car down the hallway. The car comes to a stop without hitting anything. Ethan says the car stopped because there was no force pushing on it. Shaun says it stopped because of unseen forces. Who do you agree? Explain why you agree. 

What do you think

When you see or hear the word Physics what comes to mind? 

Newton

Have you ever heard of Isaac Newton? What do you know about Newton and his laws? Not what the web knows.  

Socs and Greasers

Do you think being a Socs or a Greaser has anything to do with genetics? Do the parents of the offspring have an affect is the child becomes a socs or greasers? Please explain your answer. 

Genetic Engineering Issues

What are some of the ethical, medical, and scientific issues surrounding genetic engineering. Research one area and post your response. Please cite your source and put the information you gather into your own words.

GMO

What is a GMO please define and give one example of a GMO? 

Two rabbits ?

Why would two rabbits with the same genes not be the same color if one was raised in Maine and the other in Texas?

horses

What would happen with cross of two dominant alleles? Like a chestnut horse and a cremello horse.
