3. Monday, March 12, 2018 Homework:
Standard: 8.E.4B.5 Obtain and communicate information to describe how data from technologies (including telescopes, spectroscopes, satellites, space probes) provide information about objects in the solar system and the universe.
Objective: SWBAT explain the scientific and cultural importance of NASA and its pioneer scientist and mathematicians.
Classwork:
Finish Hidden Figures Film and Reflection Response (Response is due today in class)
Review of 3rd Quarter Exam
Introduction into Force and Motion Unit
Homework:
N/A

4. Hidden Figures Note Taking
Warm up: 3/8/18 Get out a sheet of paper and set of the following chart on your paper.*Look at the white board for the following.
Title the paper: Hidden Figures Notes and be sure to write your name on it.
Create three rows with the following categories:
-Evidence of Space Exploration/Race for Space/Scientific History
-Evidence of Cultural Advances and Conflicts
-Evidence of Social (Gender and Race) Advances and Conflicts
Create two columns with the following categories:
-Late 1950s-60s
-Modern Time
During the film you are to fill out the chart, keep in mind, the Modern Time period will be filled out after the film. You will reflect on this aspect based on your prior knowledge and understandings of the world today.

5. Prompt for Hidden Figures
Prompt 1:Hidden Figures uncovers the story of the women whose work at NASA helped shape and define U.S. space exploration. Taken as a whole, why is their story significant to our cultural, social, and scientific history? (credited from HarperAcademic.com) OR
Prompt 2:Would you consider NASA to be socially progressive institutions for their time (think in term of space exploration and society at the time)? Why or why not? (credited from HarperAcademic.com)
Choose one option, write the prompt and your response on a sheet of paper, I will collect it Friday, March 9 for a classwork grade.

6. Tuesday, March 13, 2018
Standard: 8.P.2A.1 Plan and conduct controlled scientific investigations to test how varying the amount of force or mass of an object affects the motion (speed and direction), shape, or orientation of an object; 8.P.2A.5 Analyze and interpret data to describe and predict the effects of forces (including gravitational and friction) on the speed and direction of an object; 8.P.2A.6 Use mathematical and computational thinking to generate graphs that represent the motion of an object’s position and speed as a function of time; 8.P.2A.7 Use mathematical and computational thinking to describe the relationship between the speed and velocity (including positive and negative expression of direction) of an object in determining average speed (v=d/t).
Objective: SWBAT explain concepts of force and motion; conduct a force and motion lab experiment; graph and calculate situations of force and motion.
