Math

At the end of each class, please complete the daily evaluation

Complete the assignments below. Fusia is Must-Do, green is Should-DO, cyan is Strive-to-Do, and yellow is there if you need extra help. Once each lesson's "must-do(s)" is/are completed and you do not need to do anymore, complete the exit ticket. The exit tickets can be found at the end of each lesson. The exit ticket MUST be completed independently and free of all outside resources. The purpose of the exit ticket is to demonstrate you truly understand the material.

80% correct required on the exit ticket to move on to the next lesson. If less than 80% is scored, there is an opportunity to complete more work or participate in a brief reteach session with Mr. Skapetis.

All activities should be completed cooperatively with a classmate, unless otherwise noted.

If there seems to be a glitch in my system or thinking, please let me know so this can be a smooth process going forward.

Lesson 1.3 Energy and Momentum Preview (3 days)

I can use evidence (speed, stretch, height) to describe and calculate all types of energy present.

I can explain the implications of the conservation of energy

I can show that the TOTAL energy in a closed system is always the same

I can use the conservation of energy to solve for an unknown energy or variable in a problem

I can define and calculate momentum

I can use the conservation of momentum to solve for missing variables in linear collisions

I can calculate “before” and “after” momenta for multiple objects

1) Energy Stations

Go to all stations and note your o watch and discuss.

2) Guided notes.

Though this is to be completed independently, you may ask questions with each other if you are struggling to understand. Don't forget you can pause and rewind.
