HP Cycle 2

🟢 5: W 9/13 - vocab for motion

Today, you will learn about the difference between vector and scalar quantities.  You will learn the difference between distance traveled and displacement.  You will also learn the difference between speed and velocity.  You will learn the difference between average velocity and instantaneous velocity.  You'll relate all of these concepts to our understanding of the graphical analysis of motion that we worked on last time.  You'll also learn of the concept of a motion diagram.

Go to 📖 Mastering Physics and do the assignment called Chapters 1 and 2: Intro to Motion in One Dimension.

If you have any trouble with the questions, take the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the eTextbook, and try to find the answer.  

Presentation:  Intro to Kinematics

Homework:  Finish the 📖 Mastering Physics assignment above by Thursday at 10pm.  

🟩 5: Th 9/14 - position vs time graphs

Today, we'll start class by reviewing some of the things you learned last class, and we'll talk about notation in formulas.

Then, we'll together look at position vs. time graphs.   We will look at the position vs. time graphs you created in lab last time to learn about features of position vs. time graphs.  We will apply these understandings to a new graph and formally explore features.

New Presentation:  Ostrich & Cheetah Presentation

Handout:  Ostrich & Cheetah WS, Graphic Analysis of Motion WS 

Homework:  Remember to finish the 📖 Mastering Physics assignment above by Thursday (tonight) at 10pm.  Complete the first page ONLY of Graphic Analysis of Motion WS (position vs. time) by next class - Monday.  ANSWER KEY.  

💚 5: M 9/18 - velocity vs time graphs 

Today, we'll finish learning how to read velocity vs. time graphs (Cheetah) together by completing the Ostrich & Cheetah Presentation.  With any time remaining, you'll continue to work collaboratively on the rest of of Graphic Analysis of Motion WS.
