Objective:  SWBAT understand what a vector is and how it is used in science.

Warm Up:  Pick up your summer assignment packet.  There is no grade on it, but I have looked it over and recorded a grade on a rubric.  I still need to fill in your outline grade and whether or not you emailed me over the summer, so you'll get your overall grade on your summer assignment on Monday.

What do you think is the difference is between distance and displacement?
