Motion 2

Date: 1/13/14 and 1/14/14

Class: Physical Science

Periods: B2 and W1,2,4

Outcomes: Students will be able to explain the difference between distance and displacement and speed and velocity and what acceleration is.

Standards: 9-12.P.2.1

Student Needs: 

Assessment Plan: Ticket to leave: Students will describe in their own words the difference between distance/displacement and speed/velocity

Lesson Outline: Review parts of an atom and how many electron shells and valence electrons Chlorine has > Ask students to demonstrate the difference between distance and displacement > Ask students to explain the reading for today > Notes over 2.1 and 2.2 > “Can you have a change in acceleration without a change in speed?” > Discuss the question > 2.2 Section Questions pg. 51 (1-7) > HW: Reading Ch. 2 Sec 3 pages 52-56 How does acceleration factor in to Newton's First Law of Motion?

Teacher Reflection: Should do more to distinguish between force and acceleration and go in to what causes the other.
