 * Determine the velocity and displacement for objects under constant acceleration.

Calculate the velocity of a moving object.

Define momentum and impulse. || Scalars and Vectors; Kinematics (Motion); Energy, Work and Power

Facilitating active Scientific Inquiry by continuing to use math, measurement, observation and experimental skills to analyze moving objects.

Use research skill and algebra to apply knowledge of accelerated motion to a real life situation. || Using Newton’s Laws of Motion, the librarian will help students to devise and blog/wiki about the design process for creating a safe “egg drop.”

The librarian will also aid in pulling research materials and helping to find proper formulas for mathematical equations needed to support rationale. ||
 * Forces/Energy (in relation to traffic collisions)

Conservation of Momentum and how mechanical energy is transformed (kinetic, gravitational, and elastic)

Collisions—elastic and inelastic. || Write a persuasive essay in either support or opposition of “complex machines in society.”

Develop the relationships between the variables involved in moving objects. || The librarian will show videos in order to make connections and analyze moving objects.

The library will help with research essay—how to find sources, how to cite. ||
 * Circular motion.

Sound waves. || Graphing motion with graphing calculators.

Use computer assisted technology to analyze moving objects. || The librarian puts together a web quest with information on roller coasters to aid students as they design, analyze and build their own amusement park rides. || -Decide which equations to use when solving real-life problems involving Newton’s Laws of Motion. || The librarian shows a collection of video clips demonstrating each of Newton’s three Laws of Motion. The students have to decide which equation(s) to use and then complete the problem. || so the teacher can easily grade assignments : - )  ||  The librarian has a graphic organizer or some other tool to help the students complete their calculations when solving motion problems.  ||

 * Define the Doppler shift and identify some applications. ||  Research Methods and Applications to the real-world  ||  The librarian will teach students how to research the Doppler shift and evaluate the source.  ||
 * Learn to use an organized strategy for solving motion problems. ||  Organization of Work
