For example: //Newton's first law states that a body remains at rest or in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. This means things will keep on doing what they are already doing until an unbalanced force is applied.//
 * 1) What is **centripetal force**? Include a **picture** example and **explanation**.
 * Play with the following interactive simulation on a laptop: Gravity and Orbits
 * In this activity, gravity is the centripetal force causing the earth, moon, and satellite to move in a circular path. Observe what happens when gravity is removed. How do the objects travel?
 * 1) How does **centripetal force** relate to Newton's 1st law? Include a **picture** example and **explanation**. Think about what you observed by using the Gravity and Orbits simulation.
 * 2) State Newton's 2nd Law as the scientific definition **and** __IN YOUR OWN WORDS__. Include a **picture** that represents the law and**explain** how the picture represents the law.
 * 3) State Newton's 3rd Law as the scientific definition **and** __IN YOUR OWN WORDS__. Include a **picture** that represents the law and**explain** how the picture represents the law.

Monday, 11-19-2012 =Finish Chapter 11 Sketch-Through-Text iPad Assignment=
 * Using Keynote, create a Sketch-Through-Text for Chapter 11 (pages 345 to 365).
 * Here is how to do this:
 * Read all the subheadings for Chapter 11(pages 345 to 365) and review the diagrams (you did this when you created your Force title page for your notebook...DO IT AGAIN!)
 * CHOOSE __6__ subheadings to do the following: find an image and write an explanation that represents information discussed in that section of the text. So, instead of drawing the picture and explanation in your written notebook, you will find an image online, place it in your presentation and type an explanation.
 * Your final assignment should have a slide for 6 subheadings in Chapter 11 (pages 345 to 365) along with a title slide at the beginning that has the name of the assignment, your name and class hour. __**YOU need a total of 7 slides all together.**__
 * Slide Example:

(Subheading and title of slide:) A force is a push or a pull

//(Picture:)// //(Explanation:)// A force is a push or a pull. The boy pulling the wagon is an example of a force. When you are finished:
 * 1) Send the finished product to my email (tanya.dalrymple@sjsd.k12.mo.us). Be sure type the following in the subject line: "//Class hour// -//Your Name// - Chapter 11 S-T-T iPad Assignment" __Example__: **2nd Hour - Tanya Dalrymple - Chapter 11 S-S-T iPad Assignment**
 * 2) If you chose to do the end of chapter questions instead, take a clear picture of your completed assignment and email it to me. Type the same thing in the subject line as in step 2 above, but instead of "Chapter 11 S-S-T iPad Assignment", type "Chapter 11 End-of-Chapter Questions"
 * 3) Play a game on your iPad that illustrates force and motion concepts that we have been learning about in class (for example, speed, velocity, acceleration, balanced forces, unbalanced forces, types of motion, Newton's Laws of Motion, friction, and gravity). After playing the game for a bit, go to Edmodo and type a response to the post for Friday, 11-16-2012.
 * 4) ALSO, if you have not already done so, complete any of the three quizzes I have posted on Edmodo such as "Apple on a Desk Quiz" "Balanced/Unbalanced Force Quiz" and "Acceleration Quiz".
