Energy, Force and Motion

Motion and energy are important parts of our daily life. For example,
watching movie allows you to witness how motion and energy work
together. Movies or motion picture captures actual scenes using a video
camera. It is shown on a screen using the light that comes from the movie
projector. The video camera and the movies projector are both powered by
electricity. The art of filmmaking exhibits the concepts of energy and
motion.
You will learn more about energy and motion. Particularly, you will learn to
measure the movement of an object using the right tools.
In addition, we will also explore how different objects interact with light,
heat, sound and electricity. Specifically, you will try to identify good
conductors of electricity using simple circuit.
- Movement is measured in terms of the distance travelled and time of
travel.
Forces help us in our daily activities. Without them, no motion can be
achieved. Without motion, we cannot do work and enjoy life.

MOTION
What is motion? It seems that everything is moving. From the time you
wake up until you go to sleep, all our activities involve movement. We
have to move in order to complete our task. Motion will always be a part
of our daily life. There can be no motion without a force or set of forces.
By definition, motion is a change in position from one point to another
point. By definition, motion is a change in position with respect to a
reference point.
A REFERENCE POINT is a fixed place or an object used to determine
the position of an object.
 Experiment #1 – 3rd Quarter
Title: Home Made Clay
Goal: To create a perfect sphere using the home made clay and shape it
into an object of choosing.
Instructions:
1. Mix the flour and corn starch in a bowl. Mix it well.
2. Next, after mixing the flour and corn starch, put the salt as well.
3. Put the warm water gradually to create the clay. (note: add the water
in small portions to avoid errors)
4. Use a bond paper, put flour on it and start putting force to the clay to
create a smooth texture.
5. Lastly, mold and pat down the clay to create the sphere.
