1. Bell-ringer: 5 min.

2. Mantra - Your Turn! Today is a great day for science because:
science is power.
We are powerful because:
We always make a difference.

3. 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

4. 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

5. Kinetic Motion Focus on 3 descriptions: Distance (d) Displacement (x)
Speed (s)
Velocity (v)
Acceleration (a)

6. 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!

7. Guided and Independent Practice:
 Understanding Acceleration and graphs with practice problems from work packet

8. Graphing Acceleration vs. time
Using our latest velocity graph’s slope, let’s plot our acceleration

9. Area Under the Curve = Velocity

10. Your turn: Find the velocities from the graph

11. Your Turn Challenge: Find the total velocity from the graph

12. Summary Of Graph Trends
Acceleration
Faster
Same Speed
Slower
Forward
Stopped
Backwards
Velocity
Displacement

13. Summary of Graph Techniques
Acceleration
Velocity
Displacement
Area Under Curve
Slope of Line

14. What happens to each graph…

15. 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?

16. 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?
