12/3 Physics update and homework due 12/10

Hi folks,

Today we took a bit of an overview of all of Newton's three laws using a segment from at Magic School Bus video. The video has the kids frolicking on a frictionless baseball field and this allows the students to see Newton's laws in a non-friction environment.

We also did a lab using matchbox cars and magnets to illustrate some of the finer points of Newton's 3rd Law.

Homework for this week is to do Think and Explain questions 1-13 on pages 84 and 85 of the book.

Also, take 5 photo examples of each of the 3 Newton's laws. So 15 in all. Or, if you wish, make 3 videos of each law, so 9 in all. Feel free to email them to me, post them to YouTube or bring them to me somehow next week.
