Test #2 Study Guide – Graphing, Data,
Protecting Ourselves From Forces
1.
Data
A. Be able to identify Quantitative and
Qualitative Data (Notes and Labs)
B. Be able to analyze and interpret a data
table. You will have to show that
you can draw a conclusion from data recorded on a data table. (Notes and Labs)
2.
Graphing
A. Know the parts of a graph – S.U.L.T.A.N
(Notes and Assignments and Labs)
B. Be able to explain what is correct and
incorrect on a given graph. (Notes and Homework)
C. Be able to read a graph to explain what
the graph shows (Teasha and Josh Trips to School)
3.
Protecting Ourselves From Forces (Refer to
Notes, Labs, Articles, and Projects)
A. A force is a push or a pull.
B. There are many forces acting on us at any
given time like gravity, air pressure, friction, etc…
C. Newton’s Three Laws of Motion
1) Know the three laws and be able to
describe how they are seen in everyday examples like riding a skateboard,
stopping a car, wearing a seatbelt, walking.
2) Be able to describe how mass affects
Newton’s First and Second Laws
D. Be able to explain inertia if given an
example like the bowling ball/ basketball lab.
E. Crumple Zones in Cars, Safety Helmets, and
Packaging
1) Why does stopping an object slowly vs. all
at once save lives (and any shipment that UPS or FedEx might drop)? (Video of jumping into an airbag.)
2) Be able to explain how your egg drop
packaging was designed to save your egg.
What materials did you use and why?
3) Be able to describe how the crumple zone
of a car works to save lives/
4) Be able to describe the features of a good
football helmet.
5) How does the speed of an object affect
Force?
F. Be able to describe one
safety feature used in buildings to protect the building and people during an
earthquake. Where is it used, what
does it do, and how does it do this?
- Review Notes, Homework Assignments,
Articles, Labs, and Projects.
- There will not be any math calculations on
the test but you should be able to explain the meaning of F=ma and Speed =
distance/time.
