Objective:  SWBAT review for tomorrow's test on 1 D kinematics.

Warm Up:  Get out your homework and your kinematics worksheet.  A hiker hikes 360 m at 15 degreees before turning and hiking 700 m at 250 degrees.  What is the total distance traveled and final displacement of the hiker?

9/7

Objective:  SWBAT determine the motion of an object in free fall.

Warm Up:  A flower pot falls off a 20 m high balcony.  How much time elapses before it hits the ground?  How fast is it going when it hits the ground?

9/6

Objective:  SWBAT understand and quantify the motion of an object in free fall.

Warm Up:  What "causes" gravity?  In what direction does gravity act in general?  How does this differ with the direction of gravity on Earth?

9/5

Objective:  SWBAT solve 1 D kinematic problems using the 4 basic kinematic equations.

Warm Up:  Describe the motion of the graph on the board in sentences.

9/4

Objective:  SWBAT understand what dispacement, velocity, and acceleration represent in motion and to interpret motion from dva graphs.

Warm Up: List the positive directions and the negative directions.  How can an object with a negative velocity speed up? (Give you answer in terms of displacement and acceleration.)

8/29

Objective:  SWBAT add vectors graphically and mathematically and then test their answers on a force table.

Warm Up:  Pick up one lab handout, one piece of graph paper, a ruler and a protractor.  Using your graph paper, find the resultant vector from the graphical addition of the following vectors:

45 m due east + 52 m due north + 35 m @ 110 degrees + 62 m @ 200 degrees.

8/28

Objective:  SWBAT esperiemtnally determine the height of the flag pole.

Warm Up:  Pick up 2 lab handouts. With a partner, determine a method that you could use to determine the height of the flag pole WITHOUT climbing it.
