1/24/13 and 1/25/13


Date: 1/17/13 and 1/18/13
Class: Physical Science
Periods: B2,3 and W1,3,4

Outcomes: Students will be able to draw vector diagrams for various situations.

Standards: UCP.1-3,5; A.1,2; B.2,4

Student Needs: 

Assessment Plan: Students will complete vector diagrams for the lab they completed last time.

Lesson Outline: An object moves 3km to the South in 15s, what is the object’s velocity. If it then takes the object 5s to go from that velocity to a stop, what is the object’s acceleration? > When you apply the brakes on a car, what direction is the acceleration in? What direction is the net force? What direction is the velocity? > Present various situations and draw vector diagrams for them > Have students draw vector diagrams showing velocity and force for their lab from last class > Ch. 3 Review pg. 94 (1-14) 
Review: An object moves 3km to the South in 15s, what is the object’s velocity. If it then takes the object 5s to go from that velocity to a stop, what is the object’s acceleration?

Anticipatory Set/Opening: When you apply the brakes on a car, what direction is the acceleration in? What direction is the net force? What direction is the velocity? 

Key Points: Vector diagrams help communicate what happens when forces, accelerations or velocities change

Teaching Input: Giving directions, asking questions

Modeling: Example vector diagrams

Checking for Understanding: have students explain in their words what a vector diagram is

Guided Practice/Monitoring: Vector diagram drawing

Closure:  Have students draw vector diagrams showing velocity and force for their lab from last class

Independent Practice: Ch. 3 Review pg. 94 (1-14)
