β Period 6, we'll have our first mini-assessment.
If you have not yet completed the lab from last time, please go back to that post and complete at least trials 1 and 2, and at least predict and discuss position vs. time for trial 3.
Then, go to π€ Gizmos and "play" with the simulation called "Distance-Time Graphs - Metric". Discuss with your group. You may use the "Student Exploration Sheet" in Gizmos as a guide if you want, but I will not collect this information. Then, INDIVIDUALLY complete the questions at the bottom. After you complete the questions, check your answers and discuss with the group if you have any additional concerns.
Homework: Finish anything you have not finished above. Additionally, for more practice, complete the first page ONLY of Graphic Analysis of Motion WS (position vs. time). ANSWER KEY. β Period 8, we'll have our first mini-assessment next class.
β Period 8, we'll have our first mini-assessment.
Today, we'll debrief what you should already know about position vs. time graphs. Then, we'll start working with velocity vs. time graphs. You'll explore velocity vs time graphs by going to π€ Gizmos and "playing" with the simulation called "Distance-Time and Velocity-Time Graphs - Metric". This time, use the "Student Exploration Sheet" in Gizmos as a guide to learn about velocity vs time graphs, but I will not collect this information. Then, INDIVIDUALLY complete the questions at the bottom. After you complete the questions, check your answers and discuss with the group if you have any additional concerns.

Homework: If you have not completed the π€ Gizmos and "playing" with the simulation called "Distance-Time and Velocity-Time Graphs - Metric", please finish it for homework.
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.

Handout: Ostrich & Cheetah WS
Homework: Just consider the following two questions with regards to the velocity vs. time graphs:
What does a positive slope mean in terms of motion?
What does a negative slope mean in terms of motion?
β Period 6, mini-assessment next time.
