Monday- Review Space Vectors Tuesday- Space Vectors Due! Wednesday- ROCKET FORCES- The objective of this activity is for students to understand how forces change over time. Also, students will understand how forces effect motion. Now that you've had some practice at drawing velocity vectors and force vectors, it's your turn to explain what happens to a water bottle rocket at launch. Use your video from Rocket Week in October. Take note of the velocity of the rocket as it launches, as well as the forces involved with the launch. Take 3 screenshots (command+shift+4) of the video at different times; before launch, right as it begins to take off, and lastly as it is high up in the air. Place these pictures into any computer program you prefer. Using arrows, draw and label the FORCE vectors exerted on or by the rocket in all three pictures. Last, make sure to write out a brief explanation of the forces in each of the pictures. Don't forget what we discussed in class about forces and Newton's law. If you do not have a video on your computer, feel free to use one of the videos located on Miss Peterka's Teacher folder.

QUIZ DAY THURSDAY- **Force Quiz 1 -2010** [] Friday- Review Science Essay Topic, Rocket Forces Concepts, and learn about Isaac Newton

== =November 1st- November 5th=
