Agenda Connections Friday Volunteers Acceleration Guided and Independent Practice Summary Questions to think about Balloon car project: Supplies, Video? HW: Cars due Monday, 1 acceleration problem, 5 Review Questions from packet Feedback/ Questions
Connections Friday Brainstorm an object with the fastest velocity or acceleration you know OR Talk about your favorite trip and how you travelled by distance and displacement
Kinetic Motion Focus on 3 descriptions: Distance (d) Displacement (x) Speed (s) Velocity (v) Acceleration (a)
Acceleration Acceleration (a): Velocity / Time =∆v/t The velocity of your trip vs. the time you spend moving Like hitting or letting up on the gas pedal Vector!
Guided and Independent Practice: Understanding Acceleration and graphs with practice problems from work packet
Graphing Acceleration vs. time Using our latest velocity graph’s slope, let’s plot our acceleration
Area Under the Curve = Velocity
Your turn: Find the velocities from the graph
Your Turn Challenge: Find the total velocity from the graph
Summary Of Graph Trends Acceleration Faster Same Speed Slower Forward Stopped Backwards Velocity Displacement
Summary of Graph Techniques Acceleration Velocity Displacement Area Under Curve Slope of Line
What happens to each graph…
Questions to think/write about... Create and describe a plan to test changes in acceleration by using a balloon-powered car Football Team Challenge: How could you test and calculate your acceleration running on the field?
Yesterday’s Skipped Questions to think/write about... Create and describe a plan to test changes in velocity by using a balloon-powered car Cheerleader Challenge: How could you test and calculate a flyer's velocity falling from a cradle? Velocity in a stream: Which would have fewer insects? A stream with a faster velocity or one that is still like the bayou’s outside? Why?
