More about Physicist

Isaac Newton said that he stood on the shoulders of giants. Scientist build upon the knowledge and work of other scientist.  Yesterday we searched for famous physicist other than Newton. Today look back at yesterday's post and find some facts about  one of the scientist mentioned in yesterdays blog. 

Newton and who else?

Isaac Newton's work involved physics. Find on the web other scientist before and after Newton that have worked in the field of physics. 
Please post your source. 

Newtonian Physics

What do you remember about Newton's three laws of motion? ( not  what the web knows ) 

Outsiders Day

Today we take a break from science to salute S.E. Hinton's 

The Outsiders. 

Please post your thoughts on the book and movie 

science project

What is the topic of your project? Give one interesting fact you have learned while doing your project? 

All three laws

Describe a scene that would show all three of Newton's Laws of Motion in Action 

Newton's Laws

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion? Please include your source with your post. 

Science and Hockey

You hit a hockey puck and it slides across the ice at nearly a constant speed. Is a force keeping it in motion? Explain. 

centripetal force

What is centripetal force? Find the definition and then come up with and example of centripetal force in action.  

Identifying Forces

When you are sitting in a car and it speeds up what forces are acting on you? 

Traveling into Space

Suppose you were in a spaceship traveling away from Earth. How would your weight changed as you moved farther from Earth? 

Newton 2nd Law

Please find Newtons second Law post it with the web source. Then post what you think it means. 

Newton Connections

Newton worked with laws of motions and many other scientific principles. Another scientist we have learned about this year was Robert Hooke. What connections are there between Robert Hooke and Isaac Newton?  

Newton and Space

Explain how Newton's First Law of Motion applies to how the planets orbit the sun. Also was Newton thinking of Astronomy when he was developing his laws of motion? 

Types of Friction

What are the three types of friction? And give one example of how you have seen one of these types of friction. 

Newton's First Law

You have read about Newton's Law of Motion. In your own words explain Newton's Laws.
