4. #005C: Which dimensions should I convert?
Notes: The numbers given to you in the problem are called the given information, or the "givens".
You need to have all your givens in the same unit, so, for the following, answer the two questions....
A. To which units would you convert?
B. Challenge Question: How would you convert the givens which need converting?
i. Cleetus has 20kg of dirt, Sharkeshia has 946g of dirt, and Xochitl has 500kg of dirt.
ii. A Mustang is 18ft long, a Fiat 500e is 120in long, and a Kia Soul is 192in long.

#Goals: SWBAT...
1. express what it means to "flip" instruction
2. Join our Remind App classroom and receive notifications
3. watch a flipping physics video, and answer EdPuzzle questions
4. Access the online textbook
QUIZ
Warm-Up (6min)
Read the following, then answer the questions at the end.
Something Very Different About This Course
Chances are very good that Physics will be very different from your previous classes. We are going to ‘flip’ Physics. This means students will be getting a lot of Direct Instruction at home as homework via lecture videos. Moving much of the Direct Instruction from the classroom means that the work students would normally do at home or “homework” will now be done in class. This is a paradigm shift in the way we think about school, homework, teachers and student responsibilities. The teacher will less often stand in front of students and deliver content; this is something students can get at home via lecture videos. Instead, the teacher will be more available to answer student questions as they work to process the information.
Your responsibility for video lectures as homework will not be to simply view the lectures. You will need to:
- Put away any forms of distraction: your phone, your TV,
and whatever else might distract you.
- Pause and rewind the lecture if necessary.
- Answer all of the EDpuzzle questions.
- Bring any additional questions with you to class.
In class we will take time to go over concepts people struggled with while learning at home.
Laptops, Tablets, and Smart Phones will be permitted in class. However, they are to be used only for school related purposes. If you need to access the solutions to homework problems, practice tests or even lecture videos, you can use your personal electronic device to do so.
Please be aware that flipping Physics does NOT mean that this is now an online class. It simply means that most Direct Instruction will be done via videos. It does mean there will be increased interaction between the students and the teacher. Because of this, students will be more responsible for their own learning.
On my website, you will find specific instructions about what will happen from day to day. In order for you to be prepared for class, you will need to have done your homework.
So what does this all mean? In plain (simple) English, how do you think a flipped class runs differently from a standard classroom (where your teacher lectures in class, then you do practice, then you do HW problems).
CLASSWORK
1. #005A: Are We Upside-down? (8min)
No, we are not. In your binder, take notes while watching the video (linked below). After watching the video, answer the following in your notes:
A) The presenter (Mr. P) says we don't multitask well, and tons of research supports him (see links below video). What's really happening when we multitask?
B) What form of distraction will be most difficult for you to "put away" while you are learning from videos and outside of class?

2. #005B: Flipped Learning with Acceleration
Navigate to the Flipping Physics webpage (link below), then follow the instructions below:
1. Click on "Physics Video Library", then click "Algebra"
2. Scroll to "One Dimensional Motion ---> Acceleration ---> Introduction to Acceleration with Prius Brake Slamming Example Problem. Notice the "EdPuzzle" link, as you'll need that later.
3. Click the GREEN "Introduction to Acceleration" find the 1/ video, 2/ lecture notes, 3/ remember where the EdPuzzle version of the video is? You'll be watching videos and taking notes, so those three parts are very important.
Notes/Video: https://www.flippingphysics.com
4. We will watch the EdPuzzle version of the video together
