Grade 5: Week of January 2nd to 6th

We are investigating Newton's Third and final law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. We will learn about balanced and unbalanced force, and action and reaction. We will examine many examples of these in real life and have students model their own. Students will examine balanced and unbalanced force through a balloon lab. Finally, students will receive a review sheet this Thursday and will have a test next week on Tuesday January 10th.

Homework for the week:

Monday: Competitive Edge pgs. 247-248 #1-6 (this might be Tuesday night's homework depending how much students understand this concept)

Tuesday: Action and Reaction sheet

Wednesday: Competitive Edge pgs. 251-252 #1-2; one example of each: balanced force, unbalanced force; action and reaction

Thursday: Finish part of the review sheet (to be announced, depending on what students understand in class)
