This week begins our forces and motion unit. The IB Inquiry information for this unit is:
Statement of Inquiry: Humans manipulate interactions and balance of forces to control movement.
Inquiry Questions:
Factual Question – What are the ways to describe the motion of an object?
Conceptual Question – How do forces affect the motion of an object?
Debatable Question – What kind of safety regulations should contact sports such as football have?
This unit corresponds to Chapter 8 in the book. Vocabulary for this chapter is:
Lesson 1:
Lesson 3:
All classes have been working on the launch lab for lesson 1, notes, and a lab in which they are testing the average speed of different types of balls.
