A RIDE TO REMEMBER Name:________________ Section: _____

You are a member of the fifth year team that is going to rehearse a cheer dance for the upcoming ANHS Sports fest in LSGH on Saturday. Your meeting time is at exactly one o’clock in the afternoon. It was reported that on that day, there will be some renovations to be done on both EDSA and Ortigas Avenue. Motorists were advised that the expected vehicle speed on the affected areas of EDSA and Ortigas Avenue will be 15 kph and 18 kph respectively. Your teammates Inday and Dodong, who will be affected by the road renovations, asked you to estimate the time they should leave their house on Saturday. What factors will you consider in responding?

What factor/s will you consider in estimating the time Inday and Dodong need to leave their house? Put a check mark on your choice/s. If you have another factor in mind, write it inside the rectangle labeled “Other Factor”. Be ready to explain your choice/s.

Now, for us to be able to clarify our ideas, let us view The Physics Classroom and carefully study the content of the page. This high school Physics tutorial website describes both speed and velocity and provides some examples on how to solve for these quantities.The Physics Classroom According to what you have read, what are the characteristics of speed and velocity? Use the Venn Diagram below in identifying their similarities and differences. Speed Both Velocity

Let us further discuss speed and velocity focusing on their formulas. Carefully study this Regentsprep.Org page. This website will help us identify the quantities involved in solving speed and velocity including their symbols. Regentsprep.Org Now, form a group with three members. Together, try filling up the table on the next page with the right formulas. The table will be our guide in answering problems that involve speed and velocity in the future. Feel free to go back to the website if you need to. Be ready to discuss your answers with the class afterwards.website

GUIDED PRACTICE Let us see if you were able to understand the difference between speed and velocity. Get a partner and answer the questions on this THINKQUEST page. This online Physics quiz includes questions on distance, displacement and velocity.THINKQUEST If you want to do more exercises that involve speed and velocity, you can check out this BATESVILLE quiz page. This quiz involves questions about the relationships of distance, time and speed. BATESVILLE You are also encouraged to answer question numbers 1 to 5 of this BBC page. You should be able to interpret the graph of a cyclist’s journey in order for you to answer this quiz. Be sure to analyze and solve the questions first before clicking the GO icon. Enjoy!BBC

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE. After we have done some guided practice, we are now ready to work independently. Show an organized solution for the following question. Mark, a family driver, was asked to drive his employee’s son to Tagaytay City. He drove from Manila to Tagaytay at a constant speed of 32 kilometers per hour. The distance between these two cities is 56 kilometers. How long did it take the car to go from Manila to Tagaytay?

SHORT QUIZ Now that we have done some guided and independent practices, it’s time for us to have a short quiz. Ready?! Take the QUIZ now!QUIZ 1.

Going back to the situation given by your teacher, can you now identify the factors you have to consider in estimating the time Inday and Dodong should leave their house? Name the factors: ________________ ________________ Explain why these factors affect the time Inday and Dodong should leave their house? ______________________________________ ______________________________________ ______________________________________ ______________________________________ ______________________________________

What time should Inday and Dodong leave their house? Go back to your group and work together to solve for the time. Use the worksheet on the NEXT page.NEXT PAIR ACTIVITY

Assume Dodong will need to travel 6 kilometers and will take EDSA. On the other hand, Inday will take Ortigas Avenue and will need to travel 7 kilometers. You may use this CALCULATOR in solving.CALCULATOR What time should Inday and Dodong leave their house? For Inday (Show your organized solution here.) For Dodong (Show your organized solution here.)

FINAL OUPUT A Ride To Remember It is now time to create your own ROAD MAP. You will need a timer, coloring pens and bond papers in creating the road map. We will grade your road map using the RUBRIC on the next page.RUBRIC On a bond paper, create a road map that shows how far LSGH is from your home. Be sure to map out both the displacement and the distance you travel every night using coloring pens. On another bond paper, estimate the distance you traveled from your home to the school and compute for your average speed. INITIAL TASK. On your next way to school, take note of the time you left your home and the time you arrived at school
