HS-PS2-4. Use mathematical representations of Newtons Law of Gravitation and Coulombs Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects. Students will investigate the theory of Gravitation and show several sample calculations. Students will solve for the universal Gravitation constant and compare it to published values. Students will record solutions to inquiry questions in the lab notebook. This lesson plan includes strategies that build new information of physics related to the attractive force of gravity on students' prior knowledge. The lesson length is 85 minutes or 1 block.

By Learning Style: Visual (Webquest); Kinesthetic (Simulation); Logical/Mathematical (calcuations from lab); Lingustic (Analysis Questions) Exit Slip: Headlines: The most important concept form today's class was _____________ because ________. It is related to ________ SWBAT recognize the basic units of physics are grams, meters and liters by the end of todays lesson. Students will use the 3-2-1 protocol to review topics from the metric system unit. Students will use understanding of the metric system to investigate universal gravitation using a PhetTM simulation by the end of todays lesson. Students will present their understanding of the metric system to a heterogenous group of students by the end of the lesson

Review of the Metric System Unit.

By Process: 1-2-4 protocol. Students work individually on the Practice UC, then work with pairs to evaluate and edit each other's work, then work in teams of four to chose the most correct solution. Each team will present a solution to either a different cluster of students or to the instructor. Teacher will use questioning to make student thought process visible. Informal Assessment. Student Interview. Practice Understanding Check.

Students will demonstrate understanding by completing an understanding check with a level of competent or higher by the end of the unit. Demonstrate basic understanding of Metric system.

Understanding Check; Webquest

Visual learners- Scale Models; Linguistic (Word Problems); Mathematical/logical (challenge questions) Summative (Understanding Check at the end of a unit)

Students will perform a lab task individually including applying law of Gravitation to a simulation. Students will collect, organize, display, and interpret data about Universal Gravitation.

Student Lab Practical.

Visual (Simulation); Verbal (Oral Exam) Logical (Calculation of Universal Gravitational Constant) Lingusitic (Comparing calculated value to published value) Formal: Individual Performance test
