6. Write title on page 49, “Describing Motion”
WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING!
Motion– occurs when an object changes position relative to a reference point.

7. WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING!
Distance vs. Displacement Distance – how far an object has traveled. Displacement – distance and direction of an object’s change in position from a starting point.

8. WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING!
Speed Speed – the distance an object travels per unit time – rate of change in position Avg. Speed (v) = total distance (d)/ total time (t) v=d/t
Type of Speed
Description
Example
INSTANTANEOUS
Speed at any given point in time
Driving a car and looking down at speedometer
AVERAGE
Total distance traveled divided by total time
Taking a road trip
CONSTANT
Speed that does not vary
Putting car in cruise control

9. WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING! Graphing Motion
Motion of an object can be plotted on a distance-time graph.
X axis TIME
Y axis DISTANCE
The slope of a line on a distance-time graph gives the speed of an object in motion. Y
Distance X
Time

10. Thursday, Dec. 17th Objective:
Bell-ringer: Discuss with your neighbor;
What is motion?
What is the difference between distance and displacement?
Agenda:

“Formula” foldable
Objective:
Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer. (S.7.PS.3)
Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object. (S.7.PS.5)
Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects. (S.7.PS.6)

11. Directions for “Formula Triangle Foldable”
Create a “Formula Triangle Foldable” to help you calculate speed, distance and time in following word problems.
Write the definition for each term under the flaps.
In the center of the triangle, write the equation for speed (you can find this in your notebooks).
The following page contains directions for the foldable, and speed word problems.
Glue triangle at the top of page 48, and speed word problems at the bottom of page 48.
Show me when you’re finished with your triangle and word problems to get points for the day.

12. Friday, Dec. 18th Objective:

14. Write title on page 51, “Acceleration”
WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING!
Velocity– includes speed of an object and the direction of its motion. What is the difference between speed and velocity? Answer: Velocity includes direction where as speed does not.

15. WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING!
Acceleration– rate of change of velocity Acceleration occurs when an object changes speed, its direction, or both.

16. Calculating Acceleration
WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING!
Calculating Acceleration
Acceleration (m/s^2) = change in velocity (meters/seconds) time (seconds) *Note: Change in velocity = final velocity – initial velocity Acceleration formula:

17. Positive Acceleration Negative Acceleration
WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING!
Positive Acceleration
Negative Acceleration
A plane takes off… A bike comes to a stop… The plane is speeding up The bike is slowing down so acceleration is positive. so acceleration is negative.
