2/29/20 Capstone Conclusions

"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.
