Nov. 6, 2018 You need: -Clean paper (2) / pencil -Test corrections? Warm Up: On a roller coaster, why use a tall hill to start…why not a short hill? I CAN: describe motion I CAN: convert units within the metric system (to help describe motion).

Although it won’t take the whole time, we may likely have an altered schedule. NCFE can happen at any point in the last five days – but it was the beginning of that week last year (Jan.2018).

Let’s try it! You will be given a maze. Your job is to find your way from the “start” to the “end” – but you don’t know where that is…YET. After finding your way through the maze, you must write out directions about HOW to get through the maze. Be clear.

Maze Your maze will look a little like this. Draw your way through. Then write (in sentence form) how to get through the maze.

Maze TRADE Your partner will now be given a blank copy of the maze. Following your directions – only as written – they will have to draw their way out. What could you have done differently?

Did you measure? What did you measure? How did it compare? Can you convert from cm to mm? Mm to meters?

How can we describe motion? Motion can be described by: DISTANCE (how far did it travel?) TIME (how long did it travel?) SPEED (how fast did it travel?) DIRECTION (which way did it go?) ACCELERATION (does the motion change?)

Conversion in the METRIC system… NAME! RIGHT Kilo Hecto km Deka hm dkm deci LEFT centi Meter Liter Gram dm milli cm mm

Binder clip – to steady the ramp To mark a place for the ramp AND a start for the index card. End point – to be measured for distance. The binder clip will be set at 10 cm – so the ramp is at 10 cm. An index card to indicate the movement. This is a CIBL lab – so all of the stuff is in our kit. It is a good hands-on way to get kids to describe and measure the movement of the card – based on the force of the marble. I don’t really think that I will get this far today – but it’s here, just in case.

Be careful! When measuring, make sure to use the actual scale on the ruler – not just the end of the ruler.

Marble / Ramp Experiment The binder clip will be set at 10 cm – so the ramp is at 10 cm. An index card to indicate the movement. Binder clip – to steady the ramp To mark a place for the ramp AND a start for the index card. End point – to be measured for distance.

Motion – Occurs when an object changes _____________ relative to a _____________ ____________. position point reference

-Distance: how ________ an object has traveled. -Displacement: ______________ and _____________ of an object’s change in position from the starting point. far distance direction

Speed – the _________________ an object travels per unit of _________________. Also known as the ____________ of change in position. distance time rate

So…what is motion? Motion is a change in position over time!!

So…what is motion? Distance If you change your position, then you have traveled some distance.

So…what is motion? Distance How fast you travel that distance is your speed! (Speed is the RATE at which you change position).

Let’s measure Card tells you what to find and measure (in addition to the worksheet). Be accurate. Include units. Write your answers onto your own notebook paper. This was from BEFORE our SPRING BREAK! Some classes used the worksheet to measure – others had cards.
