FORCES(A Push or a Pull)

• Types of Forces
• Gravity
• Friction
• Normal
• Elastic
• Compression
• Tension

7
Newtons Laws of Motion

• First Law Inertia
• Second Law FMA
• Force Mass times Acceleration
• Third Law Action/Reaction

8
Density/Buoyancy

• Density The amount of matter in a given volume
  of a substance.
• Density mass divided by volume
• Buoyancy An upward force exerted on an object
  by the surrounding fluid.

  so, what youve learned about the laws of Motion,
  Forces (gravity), Density, Buoyancy, Properties
  of Matter, Atomic Structure, and Acids Bases
  help to fully understand the structure of the
  Universe.

Steps to success

• Be prepared each day with all of your materials
• Pay attention! Stay focused!!
• Ask specific questions during the lesson if you
  are confused

..

• Go over the information each day for 5 to 10
  minutes to keep it familiar
• Notes, textbook pages, workbook pages, JQs, and
  worksheets
• Create your own favorite study materials like
  flashcards, drawings, outlines
• Attend study halls if still not confident about
  material.
• Never wait until the last minute to review for a
  test.
