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.

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.

"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.
