Speeding up or Slowing down?

Before Class Preparation:

In Class Practice:

  • Group work: Speeding Up or Slowing Down?
    • Use appropriate terminology related to kinematics: time, distance, position, displacement, speed,
      velocity, and acceleration
    • Analyze and interpret position–time, velocity–time graphs of motion in one dimension
    • Solve problems involving uniform and non-uniform linear motion in one and two dimensions, using graphical analysis
  • Summary of d-t and v-t graphs

After Class Work:

Introduction to Motion

Before Class Preparation:

In Class Activity:

  • Buggy/Pull Back Car Activity
    • Describe the difference between uniform & non-uniform motions
    • Explain how you would predict the position of the object, 1.0 s after your last measurement
  • Assessment Criteria (Thinking/Inquiry):
