Lesson 1: Collisions and Impulse
Duration of Days: 2.5
Lesson Objective
Students will be able to describe various collisions, including elastic and inelastic as well as describe impulse during a collision.
What is a collision?
What happens during a collision?
Are forces at work during a collision?
Is energy lost during a collison?
Collision
Elastic collision
Inelastic collision
Impulse
GS1: Questioning
Students can develop and use relevant scientific questions to investigate phenomena, test a hypothesis, conduct an experiment or solve a problem.
GS3: Modeling
Students can construct and use models to represent and analyze phenomena and systems.
The purpose of this lesson is to solidify students understanding of what a collision is and how we classify collisions. This is important for understanding changes in momentum and energy is subsequent lessons.
