DAY 03

Essential Questions: 

1. What are the class expectations for behavior & safety? 

2. What is Mastery Learning and Grading (MLG)?

#GOALS: SWBAT...

1. Get familiar with textbook, both physical and online.

2. Describe pros and cons of MLG. 

Go Get Textbooks. Sooooo Excite.

WARM-UP:

Textbook familiarization:

a. Use the book to find info on significant digits. 

    - define "significant digits"

    - find a page that describes ALL the rules regarding significant digits. Which page (or pages, does that?)

b. What's on page 23. When would that page be useful?

c. Take a look at the last page and the inside of the back cover. What are the units of force? What's the symbol? What about for power?

d. In the picture of the electric circuit symbols, is the switch open (off) or closed (on)? 

CLASSWORK

1. #003A: Mastery Learning and Grading (MLG)

    Video: Sal Khan (LINK)

        - list two pros and two cons of MLG

        - class discussion

2. #003B: Kahoot! 

    if you'd like to use the kahoot to review outside of class, here's the link --> LINK

HOMEWORK

Tomorrow we will discuss how we're going to flip the classroom. We'll watch our first Flipping Physics video tomorrow, but if you'd like to preview it, here's the link: LINK

Other things due/happening tomorrow: 

1. #002C: Review the safety contract. Sign it and bring it back by Friday  Postponed - will pass out contract Friday. 

2. #001A: Signed syllabus slip was due today (Thursday)

3. #004A: Lab safety quiz Friday. Review the Student Safety Contract to study (LINK)

OLD STUFF BELOW

#Goals: SWBAT...

1. Describe the similarities & differences between distance and displacement

2. Differentiate between an objects speed and velocity

Warm-Up (3min)

1. Define the following using mathematical/science definitions: (you may use your phone to find physics definitions)

   • distance

   • displacement

2. Describe the similarities between distance and displacement by creating a Venn diagram

3. We will discus the warm up later today

CLASSWORK

#003A: Distance vs Displacement (15min)

    - Label your notes with the number and topic listed above

    - Take notes. Your notes should include:

        - definition of scalar & vector

        - drawings/explanations of three different distance/displacement scenarios

LINK <-------

#003B:  (20min) Speed vs. Velocity

    - Take notes. 

    - Complete practice problems

    - Presentation is available electronically here --> LINK

#003C (this was accidentally printed as #003B, apologies...): Practice problems 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
