On the front board, write the number of any item from the assignment that you would like to get help with. Write the number, even if it is already on the board.
Learning Goal: To be able to describe concepts of distance, displacement, speed and velocity in qualitative, quantitative and graphical means.
Today:
- Practice 2.2 and quiz Troubleshooting
- Begin work on Collision Investigation Challenge!
- You will work with a partner to develop a way to predict where two battery-powered cars will collide if they are separated by a distance of 2m, and released from opposite ends of the lab table at different speeds (1 batt vs. 2). You will collect data, then make and test your predictions.
- Once you are confident in your prediction, you will mark the collision point with a piece of tape. You must show calculations and graphs supporting you prediction on a whiteboard BEFORE testing your prediction. This is for a formative assessment grade. The grade will be marked NHI until your prediction matches the results.
- There will be 3 separate collision stations set up. You may collaborate with other groups on the initial data collection, but the calculations and predictions must be between you and your partner.
