1. April 12, 2018 Mental Math…be ready. You need:
Clean paper (2) / pencil
Warm Up:
Mental Math…be ready.
I CAN: practice calculating speed from distance and time…even graphing.

2. Metric Conversion (show the decimal movement)
1.) 10 Dkm = ________ dm
2.) Hm = ________ cm
3.) m = ________ km
4.) km = _______ m
5.) km = _________ mm
6.) Dkm = __________ mm
7.) 98 dm = ________ Dkm
8.) 325 mm = __________ cm

3. How can we describe motion?
Motion can be described by:
DISTANCE (length)
TIME (min, seconds)
SPEED (distance and time)
DIRECTION (which way)
ACCELERATION (change in motion)
Speed up, slow down, change direction
VELOCITY…speed and direction

4. In math terms… Distance Speed = Time
A “change in position over time” is the same as saying:
Distance
Speed =
Time

5. What does “speed” mean? Some examples of speed:
60 miles/hour meters/minute
Let’s break it down…
If you travel 60 miles per hour, how far do you travel in 1 hour?
60 miles/hour is the same as 60 miles
1 hour

6. Let’s practice calculating speed
If you travel 100 km in 2 hours, what is your speed?
Speed = Distance
Time
Distance = 100 km Time = 2 hours
Speed = 100 km
2 h
Speed = 50 km/h

7. S = distance
= 600 miles
miles
= 200
time
3 hours
hours

8. D S T Speed = Distance Time Time = Distance Speed
Distance = Speed x Time D S T

9. Speed vs. Velocity
SPEED – tells you have fast or slow something is moving (changing position).
Example = 25 km/h
VELOCITY – tells you speed AND DIRECTION! (changing position in a certain direction)
Example = 25 km/h EAST

12. What was the average speed of the runner in the first 5 seconds of the race?
Speed = 25 m s
Speed = 5 m/s

13. SLOW MOVEMENT

14. FAST MOVEMENT

15. FAST vs. SLOW
FAST
SLOW

16. Starting & Stopping

17. No Motion

18. Speeding Up
Slowing down

19. Motion Foldable Motion Review Label the bottom of each flap as shown.
Draw / decorate your top flap with the foldable’s title.
By John Smith

20. Motion Foldable
4. Repeat for constant motion, different speeds (draw two lines on the same graph), and acceleration (speeding up and slowing down).
3. For “No motion,” label the graph axes and draw in the line that would result from a STOPPED object. Describe it in words.

21. Check your work!

22. Introduction to
FORCES

23. A FORCE is a PUSH or PULL in a particular DIRECTION.
FORCES
When you ride a bike, your foot PUSHES against the pedal. The push makes the wheels of the bike move.
When you drop something, it is PULLED to the ground by gravity.
A FORCE is a PUSH or PULL in a particular DIRECTION.

24. FORCES FORCES AFFECT HOW OBJECTS MOVE.
Forces can affect motion in the following ways: They can make objects:
START MOVING
MOVE FASTER
MOVE SLOWER
STOP MOVING
CHANGE DIRECTION
CHANGE SHAPE
BIG SCIENCE IDEA

25. FORCES
Identify each picture as a PUSH or a PULL. Is the force causing a change in speed or direction or both?

26. Forces cause ACCELERATION.
Since forces cause changes in SPEED or DIRECTION of an object, we can say that forces change VELOCITY, so….
Forces cause ACCELERATION.

27. FORCES 1) Strength of the Forces 2) Direction of the Forces
More than one force can act on an object at one time. What happens to the object when forces act depends on 2 things:
1) Strength of the Forces
2) Direction of the Forces

28. FORCES Forces may WORK TOGETHER or OPPOSE each other.
When 2 or more forces act on an object, the forces combine to form a net force.
Forces may WORK TOGETHER
or OPPOSE each other.

29. FORCES
If the forces cancel each other out, and do not cause the object to move, the forces are said to be BALANCED.
If the forces don’t cancel each other out – 1 force is stronger than the others – the forces are UNBALANCED and will cause a CHANGE IN MOTION.

30. MEASURING FORCE The strength of a force is measured in NEWTONS.
The symbol is (N).
We use a SPRING SCALE to measure force.

31. MEASURING FORCE Always “zero” your balance before use.
Pull gently and with constant force.
Practice using your spring scale to drag items across your desk.
STOP HERE!

32. Try on your own!
Take off a shoe (one per table) – keep your socks ON!!
Use the “mystery tool” to push or pull the shoe across the table.
Flip the shoe so that the laces are down and try again.
Write your observations!

33. Shoe lab
Record the amount of force at the moment the shoe first moves!
Record your data!

34. COMBINING FORCES = 5 N right + 10 N right 5 N right
Two forces in the same direction can add together to produce a larger net force.
5 N
right + =
10 N
right
5 N
right

35. COMBINING FORCES = 5 N right - 5 N left 10 N left
Two forces in opposite directions can subtract to produce a smaller net force in the direction of the larger force.
5 N right - =
5 N left
10 N left

36. COMBINING FORCES 0 N = - 5 N right 5 N left
Two forces may cancel each other out (if equal and opposite) to produce NO NET FORCE.
5 N right
5 N left - =
0 N
(No Net Force)

37. Circle the best answer:
The forces shown above are PUSHING / PULLING forces.
The forces shown above are WORKING TOGETHER / OPPOSITE FORCES.
The forces shown above are EQUAL / NOT EQUAL.
The forces DO / DO NOT balance each other.
The net force is N TO THE RIGHT / N TO THE LEFT / ZERO.
There IS / IS NO motion.

38. Circle the best answer:
7) The forces shown are PULLING / PUSHING forces.
8) The forces shown are WORKING TOGETHER / OPPOSITE FORCES.
9) The forces shown are EQUAL / NOT EQUAL.
10) The forces DO / DO NOT balance each other.
11) The stronger force is pulling RIGHT / LEFT.
12) Motion is the to the RIGHT / LEFT.
