Revisit Notebook expectations
Lesson: 1. Finish deriving the formula for momentum on the handout from Thursday. 2. Put today's date at the top of a new page for today's science. 3. Watch this video of a cruise ship. Can we calculate the momentum of the ship as it crashes? Discuss how. Draw a picture in your notebook using color and write down the equation we used to do the calculation. What are the units for momentum? 4. What scientific principles (rules) have we figured out so far about momentum? WRITE them in your NOTEBOOK and put a box around them. I will add a link for the Google Doc of them after we figure them out. 3. Practice calculating momentum with a football player and a thrown football in your notebook.
Studio Time: WRITE all of your thinking IN YOUR NOTEBOOK CHALLENGE: Design an experiment and collect quantitative (measurements) evidence to show that momentum can be changed by changing the velocity or the mass of objects. Jot down as many ideas as you can think of. Think about what you will need to measure. What are you not sure about?
Momentum is important in Physics because it describes the relationship between speed, mass and direction. It also describes the force needed to stop objects and to keep them in motion. A seemingly small object can exert a large amount of force if it has enough momentum. Collect notebooks for a notebook check. Is your name on the front?
