Developing an Experiment

 Task: Develop an experiment on a topic you

are interested in, providing the general topic, observations you've made or can make to help guide your experiment or any background information you have about the topic, a specific testable question, materials needed for testing and the procedures you would need to conduct a quality, reproducible experiment.

Topic:

Background Info/Observations:   Testable Question:  Materials needed to conduct experiment:   Procedures:     

Wednesday, September 18th, 2013Your Learning Goal: Students will be able to identify an object’s position given a set of reference points and directions. Students will collect data on moving objects and quantify their results.Table of Contents: Measuring Motion p. 4

Do Now: You’ve got a huge list of things to get done…first, you have to go to the Dr’s office to get a check up, then you’ve got to go get an oil change at the mechanic’s. Afterwards, you have to return some library books and then finally you need to stop off and pick up some things from the grocery store. Before you leave, map out the quickest route to each stop and calculate the total distance you will

have travelled.

Average speed= total distance / total time

Speed:

◦Solve Mr. Wynne’s Commute!

VELOCITY!

Riddle:◦Two birds leave the same tree at the same

time. They both fly at 10km/h for 5 min, 12km/h for 8 min and 5km/h for 10 min. Why don’t they end up in the same place?

Speed: The rate at which an object moves in a given distance

Speed and Velocity are two different things!

Velocity: Speed AND Direction

Average speed= total distance / total timeVelocity- the speed of an object in a particular direction

The velocity of an object is constant only if the speed and direction of the object do not change

Situation Changing

Skydiver falling faster and faster

Runner going around a turn on track

Taking an exit off the freeway

Plane landing

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time; an object accelerates if its speed, direction or both change

In closing:Write out an original scenario where an object of your choosing is exhibiting each of the 3 main ideas we explored today (Speed, Velocity, Acceleration). Describe how your object is moving in relation to these physical concepts. Minimum 3 sentences.

Your Homework:◦Turn in your Developing an Experiment handout by Friday!!!

Thursday, September 19th, 2013Your Learning Goal: Students will gain an understanding of the relationship between speed, distance and time. Students will demonstrate their ability to follow specific, detailed procedures in a lab setting. Table of Contents: Speed pg. 5

Do Now: Trade notebooks with the group members at your table and use the Interactive Notebook template to provide constructive feedback on the back of the template for each group member.

Calculating Speed-

Speed is a function of distance and time

The Magic Triangle!!!

**Solve for the missing variable

**Speed can also be measured in intervals of distance or time

Roles:◦ Timers (8)—time at a specific location

◦ Speeders (3)—complete each motion task

◦ Data Collectors (8)—ensure data is accurately collected

◦ Ushers (4)—ensure that student participants are quiet in the hallway and not disrupting other learners
