Do activity How much work was done 8.1 a Do activity Thinking about work and force 8.1b Line of learning: explain how today’s lesson showed how much work was done.	Plan: Teacher will choose from: Warm Up : Copy and answer:  If I push on a classroom wall as hard as I can, have I done work?  Why or why not? Do activity Lifting a load 8.2 Play a review game if time permits Line of learning:  How did today’s activity help you understanding lifting a load?	Plan: Teacher will choose from :Warm Up: study silently Test If you finish early read 100 BC book or work on something for another teacher	Plan: Teacher will choose from:. Warm up: name the six simple machines. Give notes on the six simple machines Read in  groups in the text Lever: page 427, Wheel & axle page 428, pulley page 428-429 inclined plane page 430. Wedge page 430-431, and screw page 431, Each group will give the definition of their simple machine and 3 important facts from what they read to share with the class.  Line of learning: Make a paper puzzle of the six simple machines.  Each piece should have the information from all the groups.	Plan:  Teacher will choose from: Warm Up  Copy and answer: without using your notes, what does work mean?  (2 parts to the answer) 1.       Do levers experiment A 2.       Watch brain Pop: Levers 3.       Line of learning-What is a lever?  What are the 3 types of levers?  How can you tell the 3 types of levers apart?

1. Energy is a property that enables something to do work.

2. Work means to (1) apply a force to an object over a distance, and (2) the object moves in response to the force.

3.  A force is a push or pull. Forces can make things move faster, slower, stop, or change direction. Different forces (including magnetism, gravity, and friction) can affect motion.

4. A spring scale is a tool used to measure the weight of an object or the force on an object. Some spring scales have a slider that moves in response to the weight/force of an object. The measurement is read on one of two scales located on either side of the slider. Some spring scales have a spring that is visible through a clear plastic tube with two scales labeled on either side of the tube. Before an object is attached to the spring scale, make sure the marker is on the zero (0) by adjusting the slider or knob usually found on the top of the scale. A spring scale measures weight or force in newtons (N).

5. A newton measures force.
