Motion 3

Date: 1/15/14 and 1/16/14

Class: Physical Science

Periods: B2 and W1,2,4

Outcomes: Students will be able to determine distance and displacement and calculate speed, velocity and acceleration.

Standards: 9-12.P.2.1

Student Needs: 

Assessment Plan: Students will discuss which was more useful for the activity: speed or acceleration and distance or displacement

Lesson Outline: Ask students what distance, displacement, speed and velocity are > Practice using equations > Give directions for the activity: as a class we will measure the distance from the end of our hallway to the end of the opposite hallway > Once that is finished, groups will send a representative to be timed walking/jogging to the other end of the hallway and back > Once they have their times, they will calculate their average speed > we will then discuss the net velocities for different parts of their path > practice calculating acceleration > Students will discuss which was more useful for the activity: speed or acceleration and distance or displacement > HW: Quiz next time.
