  Week 7: March 12-16
Goals:
1. Be able to calculate average velocity from its definition, vel = change in deistance/change in time.
2. Be able to calculate average velocity from time vs. distance graphs.
3. On a distance vs. time graph, be able to describe how speeds change, based on the slopes of the graph.
4. Be able to interpret time vs. velocity graphs and match them with corresponding time vs. distance graphs.
5. Be able to define accelration and recognize that it is the slope of the velocity graph.

Activities:
Monday: Go over quiz and group project matching motion graphs.
Block day: Collect time and distance data while racing. Start data analysis
Thursday: Continue analyzing racing results by making graphs of position and velocity and answering questions.
Friday: Discuss acceleration, review and quiz

Notebook:
1. Graph matching worksheet.
2. Running data table
3. Running time vs. distance graph
4. Running time vs. velocity graph
5. Running questions
6. Acceleration notes

This site will allow you to see what is happening in Mr. Medley's Academy Science class. I will post weekly goals and activities and make handouts available.

Name:

I have a degree in physics from Rice University and I have been teaching since 1994. This is my tenth year at Grant. I take educating students very seriously and am honored to have you or your child in my class. Email me at emedley@pps.net
