Heffner LP for September 29

th
to October 3
rd



Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
Objectives SWBAT:
Demonstrate and
calculate how
unbalanced forces
change the speed or
direction of an
objects motion

SWBAT:
Demonstrate and
calculate how
unbalanced forces
change the speed or
direction of an
objects motion
SWBAT:
Explain the
relationship between
force, motion, and
energy
Demonstrate and
calculate how
unbalanced forces
change the speed or
direction of an
objects motion
Differentiate between
speed, velocity, and
acceleration
SWBAT:
Demonstrate an
understanding of the
TEKS covered in
Physics Unit 1
through a district Test
8.6 The student
knows that there is a
relationship between
force, motion, and
energy. The student
is expected to
demonstrate and
calculate how
unbalanced forces
change the speed or
direction of an
objects motion
(B) differentiate
between speed
velocity and
acceleration
SWBAT:
Define words that
are related to plate
tectonics and
Earths features.
P ENGAGE:
Class discussion on
how the Force
Motion and
Acceleration lab
with energy cars is
coming along. Get
students to interact
with one another.
ENGAGE:
Ask students if their
assumptions about
Force, Mass, and
acceleration are
coming true as they
complete the lab.
ENGAGE:
A quick quiz game
on the vocabulary
words we have been
using for the Physics
Unit
ENGAGE:
Prepare students for
test. Let them know
that they will not be
allowed to use a
calculator. They
should already be
aware of this.
ENGAGE:
Short video on
Plate Tectonics

LA EXPLORE
Forces and their
effect on the motion
of an object Lab
Activity
EXPLAIN
As the students
continue their lab,
help them understand
any of the results
they are getting in
their groups.

ELABORATE
Ask students at the
end of the class
period if they can
think of a reason to
want to know these
calculations in real
life.

EXPLORE
Task card stations
with review questions
for the Physics Unit 1
Test on Thursday.

EXPLAIN
Go between stations
and groups to make
sure the students are
understanding the
task cards and
explain anything that
they do not
understand or are
confused about.

ELABORATE:
Have a class
discussion on what
we have learned
about how physics
can apply to our own
lives.
TEST ON PHYSICS UNIT 1 EXPLORE
Interactive Word
Wall: Draw a
picture, look up
the definition,
give a fact about
the word.
EXPLAIN
Class discussion
on the words that
they found, and
what they mean

ELABORATE
Have students
give examples of
the vocabulary
words from their
own lives.
N EVALUATE/ASSESS
