FORCE & MOTION DAY THREE 11/10/11

EQ: What is velocity? TIWL: about velocity, because velocity is determined by an object’s speed and the direction it is traveling. SPONGE QUESTION: If you are in an area where a tornado has been sited, why is it better to know the velocity of the tornado rather than the speed?

Standard & ELEMENTS S8P3: Students will investigate relationship between force, mass, and the motion of objects. determine the relationship between velocity and acceleration.
