Collision Experiments and Observations

Mr. Kirk guides students through lesson 3.3 on the effects of collisions. The lesson includes a warm-up activity where students predict outcomes of collisions using a simulator, followed by an article review to answer questions. The homework involves reading a comic strip and an article, with tasks to complete. Students are encouraged to reach out with questions via various communication channels.

What are the three possible outcomes when two objects collide?

• Neither object will change velocity.

• Only one object will change velocity.

• Both objects will change velocity.

• All of the above.

What is the first step in using the simulator for the collision experiment?

• Record the mass of each object.

• Change the color of the objects.

• Adjust the temperature settings.

• Select the 3.3 warm-up from the drop-down menu.

In the simulator, what remains constant while changing the initial velocity of object B?

• The mass of object A.

• The temperature of the environment.

• The color of object B.

• The initial velocity of object A.

What should students do after observing the collision in the simulator?

• Switch to a different experiment.

• Analyze the results and record the data.

• Change the mass of the objects.

• Restart the simulation.

Which paragraphs should students re-read for Activity Two?

• Paragraphs 7 and 8.

• Paragraphs 5 and 6.

• Paragraphs 3 and 4.

• Paragraphs 1 and 2.

How should students submit their answers for the article activity?

• Post in the Google Classroom feed.

• Click 'hand in' after answering.

• Send a message on Remind.

• Email the teacher.

What is the main focus of the homework assignment?

• Reading a comic strip and an article.

• Designing a poster about collisions.

• Creating a new experiment.

• Writing a summary of the lesson.

What should students do after reading the comic strip in the homework?

• Answer a question about the effects of collisions.

• Create a video summary.

• Draw their own comic strip.

• Write a poem about collisions.

What additional task is included in the homework related to the article 'Wrecking Ball'?

• Discuss the article with a partner.

• Make three annotations in the article.

• Write a summary of the article.

• Create a presentation about the article.

What should students do if they have questions about the lesson?

• Ask a classmate for help.

• Send a message on Remind or email the teacher.

• Search online for answers.

• Wait until the next class.
