9/16 Tesmer

On Friday, September 16, we continued our work on the Kinematics Discovery Lab. At the beginning of the period, Mrs. Coats-Haan told us that she was dressed in a t-shirt because she had a nose bleed earlier in the day and got her other shirt dirty. We were asked to have completed through number nine in the lab for Friday, but it was not checked. Then, we finished the lab in class. If a group did not get through all of the questions, they have until Monday to turn in the lab in its entirety.  For homework, we were assigned the 2.1-2.2 Guided Reading worksheet to be turned in on Monday.

Question of the Day:

By looking at a graph of distance vs. time, you can tell which object is traveling faster and which object has uniform speed by looking at their line of best fit. The object with uniform speed will have a relatively straight line of best fit. The object which is traveling faster and gaining speed will have a curved or very steep line of best fit.
