Class this week: We took our vocabulary quiz and turned in vocabulary sheets for motion on Monday. For the rest of this week, we will finish up our motion concepts including a lab to calculate and graph speed using a Sphero 2.0 (little rolling robot).
HW = Homework WU = Warm Ups Monday, 9/24 HW: Check PowerSchool and turn in missing work. WU: Copy down any 3 definitions from your Motion Vocabulary Sheet. See ToC tab to download a new sheet if you lost yours. Tuesday, 9/25 HW: Check PowerSchool and turn in missing work. WU: 1.Sketch a distance-time graph and label the axes correctly. (Click and scroll down for an example here.) 2.What does a flat line show on a d-t graph? 3.What does a steep line show on a d-t graph? 4.What does a gentle sloped line show on a d-t graph? 5.What kind of motion does a jagged line show? 6.What kind of motion does a slanted straight line show? Wednesday, 9/26 HW: Check PowerSchool and turn in missing work. Finish any unfinished work on the Sphero Physics (formerly Hot Wheelin' Physics) lab paper. WU: 1.Show your work and calculate the speed of each segment the graph and then the average speed of the whole graph. 2.Which letter shows no movement? 3.Which letter shows the fastest speed? 4.Which letter shows the slowest speed? Thursday, 9/27 HW: Bring back signed progress reports. Finish "Speed Machines" problems. Test on Motion and Seed on Tuesday, 10/2. WU: SHOW WORK FOR EACH PROBLEM. 1.Calculate the speed of a car that travels a quarter of a mile (.25 mi) in 9.9 seconds. 2.Calculate the speed a hiker travels if they walked 10.2 miles in 8 hours and 45 min (8.75 h). 3.*Calculate the time it takes for a bus to travel 87.3 miles if its average speed is 45 mph. Friday, 9/28 HW: Study for test on Motion and Seed on Tuesday, 10/2. WU: 1.Write a real word problem for calculating speed. 2.Write the equation to solve it. 3.Have your neighbor (or family member or friend) try to solve it and show their work on your paper. 4.Let them know if they are correct and/or teach them how to do it correctly if they didn’t. 5.Don’t forget units with your (their) answer!
