9/30 Gaitan

Due to the fact that we had just taken a test on Thursday, we had no homework to turn in.  Three students were late to class, and it upset Coats-Haan that we were starting late.  Once we had actually started class, we continued to add our new kinematics chapter onto previous concepts we have learned.  Consequently, Coats-Haan took Clay’s Spanish notebook away while he was working on it, because he was not fully paying attention to the lesson.  After we started to make equations from distance, time, and velocity on our kinematics POGIL, we got to choose from a variety of colors of kinematics cards.  Once we had gotten to our first checkpoint, Coats-Haan would shout out a certain phrase that we would ask her to say, but our group didn’t know what to say, so she just shouted, “I DON’T KNOW!”  We were the second group to complete the first checkpoint accurately, so we were not as jumpy as the surprise when she first shouted for another group.  Coats-Haan mentioned how we would keep our kinematic cards for a very long time, and how some siblings of students in our class had or probably still had theirs.  By the end of the day, we had already written 3 equations that we made onto our kinematics card.  We needed to learn now to accurately derive kinematics equations and apply them properly. 
In order to find the final velocity of Isaac as he is making a touchdown at a constant acceleration, one would have to know his initial velocity and add that to his acceleration multiplied by time.
