August 26

Today in integrated science, students began class time with a graph that showed the motion of two objects and answered several questions about them: 1) What object was moving faster? 2) Wheat occurs when the graphs intersect? 3) Describe the motion of each object. Then students worked to determine the motion of several position vs. time graphs in their Motion Detector Lab and then tomorrow we’ll be using the motion detectors to walk out the motion that we believe creates the graph in question. Students had to do written descriptions only for graphs 1-8. The reading for tonight is I-19 is in the midst of metric Muddle, which will also be assessed tomorrow with our weekly quiz.

Students in science 8 also began class with a graph that showed the motion of two objects and answered several questions about them: 1) What object was moving faster? 2) Wheat occurs when the graphs intersect? 3) Describe the motion of each object. Students also turned in their homework from the previous night. Afterwards, period 4 was able to test their answers from theĀ  Motion Detector Lab . Periods 3, 6 and 7 worked in groups to determine the motion of the objects in various graphs, and tomorrow after the quiz they will test their results with the motion detectors. They also have the reading I-19 is in the midst of metric Muddle tonight for homework.

HOMEWORK: ReadI-19 is in the midst of metric Muddle. Quiz tomorrow over the week’s materials
