motion forces and energy science book
These books to teach force and motion are my ABSOLUTELY favorite tp integrate science and literature. I have been meaning to write this article for a while now because sometimes we forget how wonderful read alouds to integrate content area truly are. And It is important that our students come to understand that we can read to learn about topics of interest, not just stories. In many schools, including the one where I teach, we assess children using both fiction and non-fiction text. I often hear my colleagues say that the non-fiction texts are harder than fiction at the same reading level, but it can seem that way because we have not exposed our students to all the types of text we can use for teaching and enjoyment.
One non-fiction topic children like is forces and motion. They enjoy this topic so much because it is an important part of our everyday world. There are some terrific books to teach force and motion with activities included to do both in and out of the classroom. My students have set up experiences from these books in the classroom, out on the playground, and in PE class to share with their classmates.Here are books your students will like:
While playing with his dog, Newton, a young boy discovers the laws of force and motion in his everyday activities. Told in rhyme, Newton and Me follows these best friends on an adventure as they apply physics to throwing a ball, pulling a wagon, riding a bike, and much more. They realize that Newton s Laws of Motion describe experiences they have every day, and they recognize how forces affect the objects around them.
In this book, younger students learn about forces and motion as they join the farm animals on their trip to the market. The wheels on their cart help when they push, pull, and stop on their journey. This book is a wonderful way to get kids interested in science in the classroom or at home!
You push a swing. Your brother pulls a wagon. Forces are at work all around you. But what exactly is a force? And how do forces act on different objects? Read this book to find out! Learn all about matter, energy, and forces in this book from a series. The high-energy designs, exciting photos, and fun text, bring nonfiction topics to life!
A Science book list is not complete without The Magic School Bus. Every student loves the hilarious adventures of Ms. Frizzle and her students. In this book, students will learn about force and friction in an original and exciting story. Plus, there are lots of hands-on activities for students to apply what they have learned and discover more. Definitely one of my favorite books for force and motion.
When a toy car rolls or a boulder falls, it is force that makes them move. But what is force and how does it work? There are forces at work whenever you throw a ball, run up the stairs, or push your big brother off the couch. This clear and appealing science book for early elementary age kids, both at home and in the classroom, uses simple, fun language, easy-to-understand examples, and cartoon-like art to make basic physics concepts understandable and fun. This book also includes a kid-friendly experiment in friction.
Body Physics was designed to meet the objectives of a one-term high school or freshman level course in physical science, typically designed to provide non-science majors and undeclared students with exposure to the most basic principles in physics while fulfilling a science-with-lab core requirement. The content level is aimed at students taking their first college science course, whether or not they are planning to major in science. However, with minor supplementation by other resources, such as OpenStax College Physics, this textbook could easily be used as the primary resource in 200-level introductory courses. Chapters that may be more appropriate for physics courses than for general science courses are noted with an asterisk symbol (*). Of course this textbook could be used to supplement other primary resources in any physics course covering mechanics and thermodynamics. The following are an example course description and course outcomes (learner outcomes, learning objectives, etc.) for which Body Physics would be well aligned (see unit outcomes for alignment to course outcomes indicated by [#]):
In this paper, we present an animation technique based on muscle forces, inverse dynamics and a parameter optimization. We do a crude motion planning in terms of accelerations. By integrating the accelerations given an initial configuration, we obtain all essential kinematic data. We evaluate the quality of motion planning by using various constraints and a performance index evaluated using inverse dynamics. The best motion can be chosen by using a parameter optimization method. The human motion is so complicated that it needs the motions to be coordinated nicely. The planned motion is checked using a criterion which we call the footprint function: ground reaction forces if the body is on the ground, acceleration of the body center as well as energy if it is in the air. In the motion planning for a body in the air, we reduce control variables so that we work with a smaller search space with only feasible motions. Then we include human skeletal and muscle geometry in the footprint function so that we can convert robotic rotary actuators to muscles using static optimization: given a set of joint torques, we distribute them to the eight sets of human low extremity muscles. We search most human-like animated motion from an infinite set of possible motions. We compare these with experimental data. Futhermore, the muscle geometric data obtained from our linear actuator modeling can be used in tissue animation.
In Activity 1, you ask pupils to identify and describe forces at work captured in photographs. By trying to make sense of what they have identified, they will be increasing their science awareness with your help.
Surface gravity waves carry enormous amounts of energy over our oceans, and if their energy could be harvested to generate electricity, it could make a significant contribution to the worlds power demand. But the survivability of wave energy devices in harsh operating conditions has proven challenging, and for wave energy to be a possibility, peak forces during storms and extreme waves must be studied and the devices behaviour understood. Although the wave power industry has benefited from research and development in traditional offshore industries, there are important differences. Traditional offshore structures are designed to minimize power absorption and to have small motion response, while wave power devices are designed to maximize power absorption and to have a high motion response. This increase the difficulty of the already challenging survivability issue. Further, nonlinear effects such as turbulence and overtopping can not be neglected in harsh operating conditions. In contrast to traditional offshore structures, it is also important to correctly account for the power take off system in a wave energy converter (WEC), as it is strongly coupled to the devices behaviour.
The focus in this thesis is the wave loads and the peak forces that occur when a WEC with a limited stroke length is operated in waves higher than the maximum stroke length. The studied WEC is developed at Uppsala University, Sweden, and consists of a linear generator at the seabed that is directly driven by a surface buoy. A fully nonlinear CFD model is developed in the finite volume software OpenFOAM, and validated with physical wave tank experiments. It is then used to study the motion and the forces on the WEC in extreme waves; high regular waves and during tsunami events, and how the WECs behaviour is influenced by different generator parameters, such as generator damping, friction and the length of the connection line. Further, physical experiments are performed on full scale linear generators, measuring the total speed dependent damping force that can be expected for different loads. The OpenFOAM model is used to study how the measured generator behaviour affects the force in the connection line.
If the distinction is between energy as discussed in physics and as discussed in psychology, then the former should not be titled energy (science), but energy (physics), since many people consider psychology, too, to be a science. I don't know that psychologists discuss energy under that title... Another obvious sense is energy in the sense of oil, solar, nuclear, etc. ...
I seem to recall that I wrote a comment on this talk page when I started the article "energy". It was something like: Large subject, with many angles, science, economy, politics, etc., important that there is at least something, that is why I start. Also I seem to remember that I got some comments, as usual, that my writing was too difficult. Do I just imagine this, or did the talk page get lost?--Paul Wormer 10:12, 22 May 2008 (CDT)
The first sentence lacks a definition. It just says that energy is a measurable physical quantity, and that it can be expressed in all sorts of units that many people might not be familiar with, if they actually need to read an article titled "energy (science)". The second sentence says that the definition is commonly defined as "the amount of work that a system is capable of performing," but then says that some kinds of energy cannot be converted completely into work. First, what kinds of energy can't be converted into work? Second, I have a philosophical question for you: in virtue of what do you call "energy" whatever it is that can't be converted into work? If it can't be converted into work, there must be something else that makes you call this thing/process/state "energy." What is it? (And why aren't we just using whatever your answer is to that question as the definition of "energy"?) 2ff7e9595c
