November 15th - 16th

November 15th
Focus in class: Acceleration Notes
Introduction to Acceleration Notes via PPT: Students will work in stations:

November 16th : Computer Lab Day

Students will work on the following activities

A.      Virtual Car: Velocity and Acceleration
This interactive activity developed for Teachers' Domain demonstrates how vectors are used to represent velocity (speed and direction) and acceleration. In the activity, vectors change in real time as you "drive" a car on a flat plain; as you change speed and direction, vectors originating from the car respond to your actions. A graph depicting speed vs. time also responds to your actions, displaying both the speed and acceleration of the car

B.      VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION COMPARISON ACTIVITY (PHET MAZE GAME)
C.      Velocity and Acceleration Webquest

HOMEWORK:

A.      Acceleration Calculations Practice

Calculating Speed Practice Problem Review
Copy notes into ISN:
Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time.
Speed (s)  =  distance (d)
                         time (t
Each variable measured by units:
Distance:  meters (m), miles (mi)
Time:seconds (s), hours (hr), minutes (min)
Speed: meters per second (m/s),
                    miles per hour (mi/hr),
                kilometers per hour (km/hr)

Review on how to calculate Speed
After review on calculating speed, Introduction to Distance-Time Graph Notes
At the completion of the Distance-Time Graph Notes, students were introduced to the following online activities which we will complete in the lab on Monday:

A.      Distance-Time Graph Online Activity:
(Hand-out provided)
B.      Moving Man (Distance-Time Graph) Phet Activity
