1. Tumble Buggy Lab Requirements Grade Pre-Lab_____ Lab Design - Investigation Question - MV/RV/CVs -Hypothesis: Predict and explain both the Trend and Rate of Change of the graph. “I think the graph will increase/decrease/stay the same because…. I think the graph will be linear/curve up/curve down because….” Include a graph that represents your hypothesis. -Procedure: Write, in your own words, a list of steps or paragraph describing how you will perform the experiment -Diagram: Make a labeled sketch of your experiment. Include all measurement tools in your diagram. -Data Table ____ Data Collection Data table is neatly drawn Columns are labeled with name of variable measured and with units ____ Graph -Axes are labeled with evenly spaced increments -Axes are labeled with name of variables and with units -Data points are clearly marked and placed correctly - Appropriate Title -Trend line drawn -Tape your graph into your lab notebook ____ Calculations/Equations 1.Calculate the slope of the trend line for your graph. Clearly show your calculations for this slope, including units. You may show your calculations on the graph, or in your lab notebook. Write the values for each of your slopes in decimal form. 2.Write an equation that describes the relationship between the manipulated variable and the responding variable. Include units, when appropriate, in the equation. ____ Analysis of Data /Equation 1.State the slope of your graph and Interpret the meaning of the value and units that you calculated for your graph. “The slope of our graph is ____, this tells us that for every….” 2.Explain what your slope means and what factors might influence the value and sign of the slope of your graph. (What does the slope tell you about the motion fo the object) “The slope represents…..One factor that could cause the slope of our graph to be larger would be….because… Our slope was positive/negative because…. 3.State the y-intercept of your graph and Interpret the meaning of the value and units that you calculated for your graph. “The y-int of our graph is ____, this tells us that when….” 4.Explain the meaning of the y-intercept of your graph. (What information does the y- intercept tell you about the object or the motion of the object?) ____ Post Lab Discussion: 3 Most Important/Interesting Ideas ____ Conclusion (will be submitted online, see additional rubric) Total Tumble Buggy Lab Requirements Grade Pre-Lab_____ Lab Design - Investigation Question - MV/RV/CVs -Hypothesis: Predict and explain both the Trend and Rate of Change of the graph. “I think the graph will increase/decrease/stay the same because….
