2/12/2020 Battery-Powered Vehicle Investigation

Today the students planned and carried out an investigation to determine the relationship between the time a battery-powered car traveled and the position of the car.   Time is the difference between the beginning and ending clock reading.  Position is the number of standards units of measure (such as meters) that are put end-to-end in a straight line from position zero to another point.

  1. What is your product? Making football gloves more sticky
    What needs or wants is your product design meeting? I want the glove to have more friction on the ball.
    Why is it important to meet this need or want? So people who need to catch a ball and the ball slipes

  2. My product will most likely be a scale on what teaches people best based on there learning abilities. This can meet the needs of most people to get better scores, and know what they need to teach them best. it is important to meet this because most people do not know what is best for them at there skill level.

1/13/20 Capstone Experiment and Types of Matter

Today we considered the following question as we finalized our capstone experiment design:  “What would someone have to do prove my hypothesis?” We also completed a debate as to whether apple juice and Gatorade our pure substances using kialo-edu.com .  The class concluded that neither are pure substances because they are both made of multiple substances. 

2/18/20 Walk This Way - Position vs. Time Graphs

This week we have been working on finishing up our battery-powered vehicle experiment reports.  We also have been making position vs. time graphs from word descriptions and vice versa.   Today, we used a motion detector to create a position vs. time graph of our own motion.
"When a student first approaches a problem, success hinges on his/her ability to maintain an awareness of what decisions he/she is making and why he/she is making them." Sam Rhodes Here is the problem we tackled today: A student leaves the PAC at position -15.2m at 8:27 AM. She enters Senora Olsen's classroom at 8:31 AM at position 32.0 m.  What was her average velocity? UNDERSTAND - Draw a diagram. PLAN - Use an equation (v=change in position/time) or graph (position vs. time). SOLVE - 11.8 m/min REFLECT - Graphs can also be used to solve problems.  Record equations before inserting numbers.  Include units with all numbers.
