Day Eighty Two Overview

Day Eighty Two Overview

- students finished working on their hot wheel labs
     - this took approximately half of the period
- with the second half of the period we began to take notes on the concept of acceleration
- it was explained that acceleration is when velocity changes
     - that can mean when a speed goes up or down or when something changes direction
     - this is because velocity is speed AND direction
- I emphasized to the students that something can be still moving without accelerating
     - this can happen when the object stays going the same velocity
- I also showed the students a simulation that allowed the students to watch a person moving on the Smartboard along with a graph being generated along the way

Homework
- work on finishing up the Hot Wheels Lab
