9/13

Objective:  SWBAT perform an experiment to determine the effect of the angle of the launch of a projectile on its range.

Warm Up:  Pick up one lab handout.  SILENTLY pre-read the lab.  Write (on the bottom of the front page of the lab) a one sentence summary for what you are testing in Part A and another sentence summarizing what you are testing in Part B.

9/11

Objective:  SWBAT demonstrate their knowledge of 1 D physics on an exam.

Warm Up:  Pick up your scantron.  Green side today!  Get out a calculator and pencil.

Date:  9/11/12
Subject:  1D motion

9/10/12

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.)
