STANDARDS
MON / ACOS:
8. Use Newton’s first law to demonstrate & explain that an object is either at rest or moves at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
9. Use Newton’s second law to demonstrate & explain how changes in an object’s motion depend on the sum of the external forces on the object & the mass of the object.
12. Construct an argument from evidence explaining that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even when the objects are not in contact. / Bell Ringer: Write short-term and long-term semester goal with action steps.
Students will:
Complete County Mandated Writing Assessment practice prompt.
Read introductory article on Forces and answer follow-up questions. / HS&T Physical Science Ch 5 & 6
