September 30, 2011 Activity • Return District’s Assessment. • Unit Focus • Chapter 10 ScienceLog • Lesson 1 • Explain homework Homework: • Exploration 1 A Picture Puzzle Target(s): • Identify forces as pushes or pulls exerted by one object (the agent) on another object (the receiver). • Infer what the effect of a force will be on the receiver, such as changing its shape or motion.
Unit 4 Force and Motion - Focus • Why don’t we float away from the Earth? • Why is it harder to ride your bike over ice than over asphalt? • Why is it difficult to stop heavy things that are already in motion?
Chapter 10 Understanding Forces - ScienceLog • What is mass? Is it the same thing as weight? • What is a force? What forces are at work in this picture? • Why does the sky diver fall to the Earth after she jumps out of the plane?

Question • No. A force is a push or pull that one body exerts on another. • Can there be a force without some object exerting the force and some other object receiving the force?
Question • Change the shape of an object (such as the sail) • Give motion to an object at rest (such as the sailboat) • Alter the speed or direction of an object in motion • Name some effects that forces have on objects.
Question • Yes. One object can exert a force on another without direct contact. Kathleen lost her balance and fell over the side. The Earth exerted a gravitational force on Kathleen. • Is it possible for one object to exert a force on another object without ever touching it?
Question • Example: The force of the wind on the boat is opposed by the frictional force of the boat against the water. When the two forces are balanced, the boat moves at a constant velocity. If the wind’s force is less than the water resistance, the boat will slow down. • Examine the story for pairs of opposing forces on the same object that work against each other.
