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) http://physics.ucsd.edu/~cdpgrad/speed.html http://www.jfk.herts.sch.uk/class/science/science/rollerc/phsv.htm http://www.stvincent.ac.uk/Resources/Physics/Speed/ ·
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. · 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: ·
Velocity |

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. ·
