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
