Newton Law is all Around Us!

In class, students from 9th grade did exercises to relate 3 continuous functions (x^2, 1/x, x) with Newton’s 2nd law and apply them to uniform circular motion, which is part of pre-calculus! Way ahead of them!

Data was obtained using an on-line simulator. Students made a poster using recycled paper to explain their ideas and the usefulness of these concepts, which is explaining how centripetal acceleration allows us to design wheels, turbines, mechanical watches, etc. and allows us to explain the motion of atoms and planets!

Los estudiantes de octavo grado trabajaron en ejercicios para relacionar 3 funciones continuas (x^2, 1/x, x) con la segunda ley de Newton aplicada al movimiento circular uniforme. ¡Este tema es de pre-cálculo, muy avanzado para ellos pero lo lograron realizar!

Los datos se obtuvieron con un simulador en línea y se utilizó papel reciclado para construir una cartelera que les ayudó a explicar la aplicabilidad de este conocimiento en su vida cotidiana.
