Agenda: Friday, April 12th

1) Warm-up – 10 min2) Finish “Unit Briefs” Notes – 10 min

3) Finish “Motion” Notes – 20 min4) Study for practice CST – 10 min

5) Practice CST – 1 hour* No homework, but notebooks will be collected

on the day you take your Science CST's. (1st notebook check grades are up)

   

Warm-up

Only a few days before the CST's!

Think back to the poster presentations that your peers gave. Answer the following questions in

your notebook.1) What was something new that you learned

from the presentations?2) What is something that you still have a

question about?3) Answer in 3 or more sentences: What is your

favorite animal and why?

   

We will now finish the notes on “The Importance of Carbon”, “Acids and Bases”, and “Solar

Systems”.

   

Color the chart in your notes accordingly

   

Notes

Copy all the notes in green

   

In physics, we use the term velocity to describe an object in motion. Velocity describes how fast

and in what direction an object is moving.

   

Velocity has two parts: Speed, which tells us how fast the object is moving, and Direction, which tells

us which way the object is moving. I realize you guys didn't know this before the quiz, that question will not count toward your quiz grade.

   

Average speed tells us how fast an object was moving, on average, from start to finish.

Average speed is TOTAL DISTANCE divided by TOTAL TIME. Avg. Speed = D/T

   

If you knew the average speed of an object, and the total time it was in motion, could you find the

distance it traveled?

Average speed = distance / timeDistance = Average speed x timeTime = Distance / average speed

   

A graph showing speed will give you information on the distance, time, and speed of an object.

Answer in notesHow far did the bus travel in 3 hours?

How many hours did it take to travel 80km?

What was the bus' average speed?

   

Use these next ten minutes to study for your practice CST. We will take it as if it was the real

test. There will be 44 questions and you will have an hour to complete it.

It will be wise to study the notes on “Importance of Carbon”, “Acids and Bases”, and “Solar Systems”

because this is the newest thing you learned.
