Class this week:
We will finish this unit on Speed and Motion by analyzing distance-time graphs and visualizing what stories that graphs can tell about the motion of an object. Test on Friday, 9/27, on this unit. Students were given study guides on Monday. Table of Contents: MOTION - These papers should currently be organized in your binder!

Complete "Reinforcing Key Concepts" study guide. WU: Friday, 9/27 HW: Study for test on Speed and Motion this Friday. Complete "Reinforcing Key Concepts" study guide. WU: Class this week: This week, we are studying speed - how to calculate and graph it! Ask your child about the "Speed Machines" sheet. We have calculated the speed of some of the fastest vehicles in the world and watched short video clips of them. For perspective, we've been comparing all of these fast speeds to how fast you might drive on Hwy 540 or through a parking lot or neighborhood. On Friday, we will time Hot Wheels cars on a track and see how much human error plays into detecting and calculating speed. We will also graph the speed of our Hot Wheels cars.

What is her speed? Use the speed equation and show your work. 3.Kyle walks 3 blocks south from his home to school. Aliyah walks 2 blocks north from her home to Kyle’s home. How far and in what direction is the school from Aliyah’s home? Draw it out! Thursday, 9/19 HW: None. Test on Motion and Speed most likely on Thursday, 9/26. Will confirm Monday. It will not be earlier. WU: (Pages 324 - 327 in online textbook here.) 1.Page D 21 (Page 325 online): What kind of graph is this? What is the zebra doing at points 2 to 3? 2.D 22: Draw vector arrows to represent the speed of two cars moving east on your paper where one car travels further than the other. 3.D 25: What is the relationship between speed and velocity? Friday, 9/20 HW: None. WU: 1.A car traveled 50 miles in 4 hours. What was it’s speed? s = d/t 2.A swimmer swam at a speed of 1.5 m/s for 25 s. What was her distance? d = s x t 3.A runner ran at a speed of 2 m/s for a distance of 440 meters. How much time did it take? t = d / s Class this week: This week, we are studying motion, frames of reference, relative motion, relative position, and the concept of speed. The quiz on motion vocabulary has been moved to Monday, 9/16. Ask your child about straight line distance vs. actual distance. Which is longer? You can also ask about the train picture and see if they can explain relative motion to you.

Class this week: We started off the week with a lab using a black box device called an Obcertainer. Ask your child what this is and how we observed it!!! We will also begin our very first content unit on motion. Students will bring home a vocabulary sheet this week. It is due next week and their will be a quiz on these words.
