Unit 7: TorqueTorque & Equilibrium (1 hr)Objectives:a. To show that the torque acting on system can be calculated by taking the product of the perpendicular distance between the point of application ofan applied force and the magnitude of that force.b. To demonstrate that for a system to be completely at equilibrium opposite torques, as well as opposite forces, must be equal.Unit 8: FluidsBernoulli’s principleObjective: Utilizing Bernoulli’s principle and projectile motion take a canister with holes in the bottom determine the location where the water will hitthe floor.Buoyancy ForcesObjective: Experimentally determine Archimedes principle.Unit 9: ThermodynamicsObjective: Students will determine the time it takes the for a heat bring a system to equilibriumUnit 10: ElectrostaticsThe Charge Model (3 hrs)Objectives: to develop the charge model through a series of small experiments by viarubbing (and not rubbing) various objects (i.e. PVC pipe, glass rods, fur, wool, etc.) togetherand making observations as these objects are brought near each other. From theseobservations students reason about what is going on a microscopic level
