- Force
- Push or pull that acts on an object to make it move
- Children use forces to move toy cars, pull their wagons, push someone on a swing
- What force puts a skateboard in motion
- Tug of war uses what force
- Kicking a ball uses what force
- Mass
- Measure of amount of matter in object
- More mass harder to set in motion
- Mass never changes of an object
- Which creates the most force
- Semi truck, car, bike moving at 5 mph
- If same force was applied to each object which one moves faster
- Semi truck, bike, car
- Inertia
- Tendency of object to resist change in its state of motion and keep moving
- Objects also need a force to stop it
- Seat belts help prevent injury due to
- A ball rolls up the same height on a ramp
- Friction
- Force that opposes the motion of 1 object moving past another
- Objects inertia is all need to keep it moving
- Rub your hands together
- Tires allow car to stay on road while turning
- If road is dry easier to maintain on road
- Wet road decreases the friction
- Newton’s First Law of Motion
- Objects at rest @ objects traveling at a steady rate in a straight line continue that way until a force acts on them
- If I don’t apply a force that object won’t move
- If I don’t apply a force to the moving object it won’t stop
- Bowling ball stops how
- Bowling ball changes direction how
- Speed
- How fast objects position changes with time in any given moment
- So if a car is moving at a constant speed in the same direction the cars forces are balanced
- If I travel 1 mile in 1 minute at 60 mph
- How far in 2 minutes@ 60 mph
- What if I wanted to travel 1 mile in 30 seconds how fast do I need to go
- Velocity
- Speed and direction of a moving object
- If we r traveling to Norfolk and u r traveling to Norfolk from Battle Creek
- We have to be traveling the same speed and direction to arrive at the same time
- Acceleration
- Change in velocity w/ respect to time
- Launch a car w/ 1 rubber band travels 1 meter
- Launch same car w/ 5 rubber bands travels meters
- How do I make my car go faster
- Deceleration
- Force causes objects speed to decrease
- How do I make car slow down
- Gravity
- Force of attraction or pull between any two objects
- Property of all matter
- Keeps earth moving in a circular path around the sun
- pulls an object to the ground
- air resistance affects each object when falling
- keeps the moon in orbit around earth
- what causes a ball to come back to earth after thrown
- Weight
- Force of gravity between earth and an object
- When I go to the moon weight changes
- Newton’s 2nd Law
- Force acts on an object it causes an object to accelerate
- Greater the mass the greater the force needed to accelerate it
- Force= mass x’s acceleration
- If I weigh 70 lbs and am sitting in a wagon and I pull another wagon that weighs 300 lbs what will happen
- Newton’s third Law of Motion
- For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
- Pushing an object causes that object to push back against you but in the opposite direction
- If I’m wearing roller skates and I push against a wall what will happen to me
- Balanced Forces
- All forces of an object cancel each other out
- Unbalanced Forces
- Certain force is partially canceled or not at all canceled out
- Action
- One object applies a force to a second object
- Reaction
- Force that 2nd object returns to the first

Test 5.2.3 Science on the computer
- Pitch
- How low or high a sound is
- Short guitar strings produce higher pitch
- Shorter string vibrates faster
- U change your voices by tightening or relaxing your vocal cords
- String is lengthened pitch gets lower
- Sound
- Form of energy produced when something vibrates
- Frequency
- # of times an object vibrates per second
- Higher the frequency higher the pitch
- Measured in hertz
- Frequency of 1 vibration per second
- Humans can hear up to 20,000 hertz
- Animals hear higher than 20,000 hertz
- Volume
- How loud or soft a sound is
- Depends on amount of energy
- Measured in decibels
- Reflection
- Bouncing of a sound wave off a surface
- Looking in a mirror light is reflected
- Absorption
- Disappearance of a sound wave into a surface
- Energy is changed into heat energy
- Soft textured surface absorbs more sound than reflects
- Hard smooth surface reflects more sound than absorbs
- Echo
- Reflected sound wave
- Echo is strong enough u will hear your voice
- Sound waves move fast
- Fastest through a solid than liquid than gas
D. Echolocation
a. bouncing sound waves off of objects to find out how far they are away
F. Light ray
a. light travels in a straight line
b. image
i. pictures of light source
ii. angle of incoming light ray bouncing off the surface
- Concave mirrors or concave lens
- Mirrors that curve in on the shiny side
- Inside of a spoon acts like concave
- Used in telescopes
- Convex mirrors or Convex Lens
- Mirrors that curve out on shiny side
- Outside of spoon acts like convex
- Curved like part of outside of a sphere
- Used as security mirrors in stores
- Side rearview mirrors in cars
- Forms an upside down image
- Opaque
- Doesn’t allow light to pass through it
- Aluminum foil, stuffed animal, text books, notebooks, desk, brick walls, wood
- black tinted windows on cars
- Transparent
- Allows light to pass through it with little disruption
- Plastic bag, clear plastic cup, clear water
- Windows, sunglasses
- Clear tinted windows on cars
- Translucent
- Allows only part of the light to pass through it
- Takes light and scatters it in all directions
- Paper, waxed paper, shower doors,
- Refraction
- Bending of light rays as they pass from one substance to another
- Take a pencil and put it in glass of water
- Makes pencil look like its bent
- Hitting an object head on direction is unchanged
- Hitting an object at an angle changes its direction
- Circuits
- Current flows from object to object w/o being interrupted
- Light hooked to a battery by wires
- Open circuit
- When current can’t flow from one object to another-so it doesn’t turn on
- Closed circuit
- When current flows from one object to another- and so it does turn on
- Magnets
- North Pole and a South pole
- Opposite poles attract
- Same poles repel or push each other away
- Magnetic field
- Force of attraction in a magnet
- Insulators
- Stops currents moving through an object
