Hey Rock Stars! Today we'll be self-assessing our homework on acceleration as well as looking at what acceleration looks like on a graph. After that, we'll be comparing distance vs. time graphs and speed vs. time graphs. Oh, and finally, I'm officially announcing a quiz on speed and acceleration, which will take place this Friday. Scientists will:

Hey Guys!
Like I said yesterday, we're going to be pushing hard until break and today fits that trend perfectly. Today we'll be learning how to use our acceleration formula in the context of word problems. You have a lot of practice to do and whatever you don't finish will be homework! Crush it. Scientists will analyze word problems to solve for speed, distance, time as well as acceleration, final velocity, initial velocity and time. Hey Guys!
I'm so glad we're back! But now there's only three weeks until Christmas Break! The science train isn't going to slow down at all. We need to really focus in and crush it as we approach the end of our Forces in Space unit. Today we'll assemble a "story of motion" at our college teams and also take some notes on acceleration (they look similar to speed graphs... watch out!)
Hey All!
Congrats on making it to Thanksgiving! Every mark in time seems to make the time go by more quickly... I'm proud of your efforts and growth so far. Keep crushing it, but before that, lets wrap up our speed lab! Scientists will enact the scientific method and describe the relationship that ramp height plays in determining the speed of a car. What's up guys?!?
I have a lab for you today! A speed lab! It's pretty simple, but I want you to fully understand what how what we see in the real world can be converted into raw data and then represented on a graph. It's pretty flippin' cool when you think about it! Oh, and we'll be doing the entire scientific method today. You'll be surprised how easy it is! Anyways... Scientists will enact the scientific method to draw conclusions about how ramp height affects speed of a car. Hey Rock Stars! Happy ERD! Today we'll be practicing manipulating our speed equation to calculate speed, distance and time. Make sure to help each other out at your college teams and move together! Please follow the structure I give you and don't just "plug and chug" (use a calculator without thinking:-)! I give you the early release video of the week. This is a classic! Hey Rock Stars!
Today, we're going to look at "raw data" that includes the time and distances of three different objects. Our goal is to plot the data, create line graphs, and then analyze the slopes of each line to understand the information being conveyed. Good luck and make sure to help each other! We'll do community additions and turn-in our work by the end of class. Let's crush it! Scientists will create a graph with multiple lines from raw data and analyze the meaning conveyed in the information. Hey Guys!
Happy Thursday, in a Friday kinda way! And happy College Team Day! Today we'll be rockin' a PPT College Lecture Style. Get ready to upload some new information into your brains (take notes) and add some vocabulary to your glossaries! Scientists will record big ideas about motion, speed and time and identify key vocabulary. Homework due Monday: 1) Complete the "All About Gravity Lab" in your science journal. 2) Add ALL new words to your glossary. Happy Early Release Day! Before we get our ERD video of the week, I want to announce our first College Team Day set for this Thursday! With this, you are invited to develop a ROCK STAR college chant to "check in" for class as well as wear your college team's colors. If everyone participates FULLY, then you'll receive an additional college point for your college attire. Two college points will be awarded for the best chance, one for runner up and a round of applause for the other runners up. Now, regarding class today, we'll be wrapping up All About Gravity and participate in the teaching of other college teams about their segment of gravity. Scientists will teach other students about the components of gravity as well as record big ideas/notes. Finally, I give you the early release videos of the week. . . The first one is a pep-talk about what really matters outside of politics and the second is awesome! (Thanks Mitchell:-) Enjoy! -SNinja Hey All!
The quiz results yesterday were amazing. I really thought you prepared well overall. If you didn't, learn from it, adjust and move forward. Continue to write your future by working hard today... With that, today we're going to "jigsaw" the series of gravity experiments, readings and videos and then teach each other in order to get some background knowledge. Teamwork and accountability are essential. Work hard and get ready to share your knowledge and expertise. Scientists will summarize readings, mini-labs and videos and share information with the community. |
