Monday

Introduction to speed, velocity, and acceleration

·        Read section 8-1 out of your book.

·        Answer the section review questions and do practice problems.

·        Go to the computer lab and visit the following sites and discuss your findings.

·        Fill out a KWL form so that we can discuss what you Know, what you Want to know, and what you have Learned (this part is to be completed after going to lab)

·        If time allows go to MarcoPolo and see what we can find relating to this weeks topic

Tuesday

“FLYING SPUD” lab!!!

 

·        Take notes on speed, velocity, and acceleration.

·        Start working on the attached worksheets and turn them in.

Velocity Worksheets

   Acceleration Worksheets

·      Go outside and do “FLYING SPUD” lab.  Students will work in groups of two and each student turns in their own lab packet.

·        Make sure to complete everything on the checklist!!

·        Homework is to finish lab packet and study for short quiz on Wednesday over speed, velocity, and acceleration.

Additional practice problems and example graphs:

·      Acceleration

·        Acceleration Graphs

·        Velocity

·        Slope of Line

 

Wednesday

Quiz

Reinforce

Momentum

WebQuest

·        Turn in lab packet.

·        Take quiz over speed, velocity, and acceleration.

·        Brief lecture over momentum!

·        Momentum Worksheet Momentum Practice

·        Start momentum; Read 8.2 in your book and answer the review questions.  Then compare your results from yesterday’s lab and see if you can figure out why some of the potato’s traveled/accelerated farther than others based on what you just read.

·        Come up with any questions you may have thus far about speed, velocity, acceleration, and momentum.

·        Discuss questions together and do a class WebQuest over questions.

·        If time allows, lead into tomorrow topic of Newton’s Laws and continue WebQuest.
