 * **Cartoon Project:** The attached document is a guidline for doing a cartoon project on forces. I originally planned on using toondoo.com, but the website would not work, so we turned to goanimate.com to create videos. Students were also given the option of hand drawing their cartoons.
 * **Motion Graphs:** This packet is a nice activity to introduce motion graphs. It shows distance/time graphs and speed/time graphs and challenges students to identify the various types.
 * **Socrative.com** is a website that is a free on-line student response system. You can __#|sign up for free__, and if your students have access to technology (laptops, ipads, etc.), it is a very useful, free tool. We will share information about the use of this website at our meeting on October 2nd. Bring your laptops/ipads for hands on training. Use of the student response system gives the students instant feedback, and saves teacher time by sending results of quizzes (BOE's), etc. by email. Quizzes and activities can be shared between teachers, and edited to fit the needs of that teacher. Below will be a link if you wish to sign up for free. Also, I have included three quizzes (BOE's) that you can access by using the SOC - number provided. I will share how this works at our meeting.
 * **Chapter 1 Study Guide**

2A: I can compare/contrast motion, speed, velocity and acceleration.

2B: I can explain how net forces affect an object’s motion.

2C: I can explain the effect of friction on motion.

2D: I can relate the force of gravity to an object’s mass and distance.

2E: I can explain the effect of gravity on falling objects.

2F: I can __#|apply__ Newton’s 3 laws of motion to predict a situation.

2G: I can differentiate between mass and weight.

2H: I can predict how mass and velocity affect momentum.
