Physical Science Weekly Agenda

February 6 – February 10

Content Standard

S8P3. Students will investigate relationship between force, mass, and the motion of objects.

a. Determine the relationship between velocity and acceleration.

b. Demonstrate the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object in terms of gravity, inertia, and friction.

c. Demonstrate the effect of simple machines (lever, inclined plane, pulley, wedge, screw, and wheel and axle) on work.

Notes and Upcoming Project Due Dates

Please make sure that your child is reviewing material each and every night.  Their folder should also be organized properly with the three sections I have asked for - assignments, notes/foldables, and their Science Journal (which should be a spiral notebook).  

We are in need of hand sanitizer, paper towels, and tissue.  I would appreciate any and all donations you are able to make to our classroom.
