This
lesson
points
out
that
the
motion
of
objects
(velocity
or
acceleration)
is
almost
never
constant,
and
applies
this
idea
to
the
motion
of
a
person
walking.
The
discussion
covers
the
energy
transfers
involved
in
walking
and
in
some
other
forms
of
human-powered
transportation
(crutches,
bicycle,
wheelchair),
and
the
velocity
and
acceleration
of
an
object
that
is
moving
in
one
dimension.

This
lesson
builds
upon
the
previous
two
(Newton's
Second
Law
and
the
First
Law
of
Thermodynamics)
by
explaining
that
conservation
of
energy
is
not
perfectly
observed,
in
that
energy
is
lost
as
it
is
transferred
from
kinetic
to
potential,
and
vice-versa.
Likewise,
momentum
is
not
conserved
during
collisions,
as
they
are
neither
perfectly
elastic
or
perfectly
inelastic.

discussion
covers

This
lesson
introduces
students
to
Sir
Isaac
Newton's
Second
Law
of
Motion.
Topics
include
the
two
ways
to
study
the
dynamics
of
a
system
in
which
there
is
motion,
a
brief
description
of
Newton's
work
in
studying
and
measuring
the
motion
of
objects,
and
a
summary
of
his
three
laws
of
motion.
The
lesson
includes
an
activity
in
which
students
test
Newton's
Second

This
lesson
builds
upon
the

one
(Newton's

introducing
students
to

energy.
Topics

description
of
these

forms
of

a
discussion
of
gravity
as
a
form
of

This
activity
consists
of
two
parts
in
which
students
investigate
heat
transfer
by
radiation
and
by
conduction.
In
the
first
part,
students
design
and
conduct
an
experiment
to
test
the
effect
of
color
on
an
object's
ability
to
radiate
energy
(heat).
In
the
second
part,
they
investigate
the
transfer
of
energy
from
a
hotter
object
to
a
cooler
one,
in
this
case,
containers
of
hot
and
cold
water.

In this activity, students conduct experiments using an egg and a graduated cylinder filled with liquids of different densities. By observing how different densities affect the egg's position in the cylinder, they can draw important connections to the Earth's lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
