Practicing Acceleration

We are practicing making velocity graphs and then calculating acceleration. We are also calculating displacement from the graph and by formula  

The Moving Man

The moving man? The moving man! The one in physics!
One of my favorites. After doing the graph matching lab, doing the moving man really solidifies the idea that motion graphs mean something. 

College Shirt Day

Still working Graph Matching. It's college shirt day, not sure what it has to do with a big top theme.

More Graph Matching and Class Shirt Day

America Day and Graph Matching

Today is the first day of homecoming week and we are doing a graph matching lab with the lab quests, ipads, and motion detectors. Today's theme was America Day 

Hitting the Brick Wall

Today, we are trying to use graphs to describe motion. They have to which graph is correct and which are wrong and why they are wrong. 

UGC in style

• 

65 inches of style. It's too bad the UGC isn't in HD. It beats doing it on a laptop.

Ultimate Graphing Challenge

I love this game. It's a great intro to interpreting d. vs t. graphs and v. vs t. graphs.   

The Last Few Days

The last few days we have been constructing cars and using algebra to predict when the cars will tie in a race. We use Video Physics and Graphical to figure out the speed of the cars. Then we use Ubersense to record the finish in slow motion. 

Vroom Vroom

It's car building day. It might be the first time some students have soldered .
