Grade 7 Week 24: Types of Forces - Pressure
How do we describe pressure?
For Contract 24 students will create experiments that show pressure or fluid forces.
Grade 8 Week 23: Solutions
Contract 23 has students researching the use of road salts or conducting a solubility lab for the class.
Grade 7 Week 23: Types of Forces - Gravity and Friction
What forces act on objects? How?
Compare and contracts gravity and friciton.
Contract 23 asks students to design activities that showcase gravity or friction.

Grade 7 Week 22: Newton's Second and Third Laws of Motion
Newton's Laws of Motion
Explain Newton's Second Law of Motion.
F=ma
Explain Newton's Third Law of Motion.
When one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force equal and opposite on the first object.
This week's contract has you create a lab inquiry that showcases Newton's Second or Third Laws of Motion.
Grade 8 Week 21: Chemical Reactions and the Law of Conservation of Mass
What is a chemical reaction?
What types of reactions are there?
How are they different?
C2H6 + O2 à CO2 + H2O
Balance this equation.
Why must it be balanced?
Contract 21 has you inventing a lab that demonstrates a chemical reaction or teach the class how to balance chemical reaction equations.
