Semester 2, Week 1: Feb. 4 - 8

Starting this semester, students will be having their weekly quizzes and turning in notebooks on Fridays.

Goals:
1. Be able to calculate average velocity from its definition, vel = change in deistance/change in time.
2. Be able to calculate average velocity from time vs. distance graphs.
3. On a distance vs. time graph, be able to describe how speeds change, based on the slopes of the graph.
4. Be able to interpret time vs. velocity graphs and match them with corresponding time vs. distance graphs.

Activities:
Monday: Go over returned work. Read FLOJO handout. Answer questions. Homework finish questions.
Tuesday: Work on making and understanding graphs of motion. (Sorry this isn't currently available online.)
Thursday: Continue graphing activity. Homework: Finish graph and answer questions about motion data.
Friday:Review and quiz

Notebook:
1. Flo Jo reading, questions and data
2. Distance Graph
3. Velocity Graph
4. Questions about graphs
