OUR LADY QUEEN OF MARTYRS SCHOOL WEEKLY LESSON PLAN
Teacher’s Name: Mrs. Ramsey Subject: Science Grade: 8th
Week of : November 17th, 2014 Unit: II -6 Weeks Week: 3
Unit Title: Forces and Energy Essential Question: How can you describe the motion of objects and their reaction to force
| CCSS Code e.g. RL.K.5 | OUTCOMES (Lesson Focus) What will the students know or be able to do at the end of the lesson? | ASSESSMENT How will the students demonstrate that they have accomplished the desired outcome? Please state the question that will be asked during your formative assessment. | STRATEGIES In what activities will the students be engaged to accomplish the desired outcome? Please list in the order that you will implement. | 3 HOTS QUESTIONS e.g. one should be on knowledge, one on application, and one on synthesis or evaluation. |
Mon
11/17
| WHST.6 SL. 1.a RI.7 | Students learn of Newton’s Three Laws of Motion
| What is energy? | 1. Use technology, including the Internet to present the relationship between information 2. Come to discussion prepared, having or studied required material. 3. Analyze various accounts of a subject told in different mediums. | 1. Explain how the three laws are different. 2. What is the relationship between mass, force, and acceleration. 3. How is a falling object relates to gravitational forces. |
Tues
11/18
| WHST. 9 L7.3a RL.11.b | Students will learn that physical quantities and laws depend on units used for 3 basic measurable quantities--distance, mass and time | How is force determined? | 1. Draw evidence from informational texts to support analysis. 2. Choose language that expresses ideas precisely and concisely. 3. Uses established criteria to classify text | 1. What happens when a force acting on an object is opposed? 2. What determines how big that acceleration will be? 3. Give an example of a force. |
Wed
11/19
| RL.8.1 L.8.3 W.8.1A |
Students will learn how force exerted on an object cause acceleration. | What is acceleration? | 1. Compare and contrast the structure of two or more texts and analyze how the differing structure of each text contributes to its meaning and style. 2. Use appropriate and varied transitions to create cohesion and clarify the relationships among ideas and concepts. 3. Provide a conclusion that follows from and reflects on the narrated experiences or events. | 1. 2. Write and/or illustrate what they did during this activity and what they learned from their participation in the activity. 3. Discuss other ways in which potential and kinetic energy are transferred. |
Thurs
11/20
| RL.8.1 RL.8.5 W.8.3 | Students will be able to identify opposing forces both in words and with free body diagrams and will be able to explain how Newton’s Third Law applies to a given situation.
| What are opposing forces? | 1. Compare and contrast the structure of two or more texts and analyze how the differing structure of each text contributes to its meaning and style. 2. Introduce claim(s), acknowledge and distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims, and organize the reasons and evidence logically. 3. Form and use verbs in the indicative, imperative, interrogative, conditional, and subjunctive mood. | 1. What idea did the falling apple supposedly inspire in Newton? 2. What did Newton have to assume, to test his guess? 3. How Newton tied together the gravity? |
