//Perform the 3 activities below. Record your observations in the data table and then answer the questions on the worksheet provided.//
 * __Part 1: Activity Station & Application__ **


 * **__Actvity A:__**
 * 1) **Set a wooden block on the table.**
 * 2) **Flick the wooden block with your finger in an attempt to move it forward.**
 * 3) **Record your observations of the motion of the block including distance moved and approximate time it takes to stop in the data table.**
 * **__Activity B:__**
 * 1) **We will now work with the wheeled cart.**
 * 2) **Give the cart on the track the same sized flick as you did to the wooden block.**
 * 3) **Record your observations of the motion of the block including distance moved and approximate time it takes to stop in the data table.**
 * **__Activity C:__**
 * 1) **We will now work with the air track with a sliding cart.**
 * 2) **Turn on the air track and give the cart the same sized flick as you did in Activities A & B.**
 * 3) **Record your observations of the motion of the block including distance moved and approximate time it takes to stop in the data table.**
 * 4) **Turn off the air track**

__**Part 2: Video and Grafitti Conversation**__ //You will be making a Grafitti Conversation after viewing the video.//
 * 1) Write words or draw images (or a combination of the two) on the paper to spark conversations with your group members showing what you learned about INERTIA from the video.
 * 2) Pause the video as needed.
 * 3) Make sure your grafitti poster demonstrates what you learned and discussed about INERTIA.
