DAY 9
Essential Questions:
1. How do I make measurements in physics?
#GOALS: SWBAT...
1. complete unit conversion problems
2. make a measurement and describe the correct level of uncertainty
WARM-UP:
1. WARM-UP:
1. Given that a car gets 25 miles of driving for each gallon of gas, how many gallons will it take to drive 150 miles?
2. For the same car, if the vehicle it traveling at 60 miles per hour, how many hours will it take to drive those 150 miles?
3. How many minutes?
4. How many seconds?
5. What is the conversion factor between hours and seconds?

3. Thinking about Wednesday: Do you know the difference between distance and displacement? Yes? Great! No? Okay! The "learning at home" has you covered :-)
LEARNING AT HOME (HW)
1. Complete #008B: Lab #1: Introduction to Measurement from Thursday's and Tuesday's classwork. Need help? Here's a helpful video: LINK
2. For Wednesday's class, learn about distance and displacement Go to https://edpuzzle.com/media/57b7823b6b6e2cb616d68115
Take notes and write the answers for credit. Review Mr. P's notes here --> LINK
3. Remind your parents, this Thursday is Back to School Night. 4:30-7:00pm. I'll be here.
4. Friday I will be gone for my Grandmother's funeral. Your sub will be Mr. Potkin. I'll be back Monday.
OLD STUFF BELOW
Warm-Up (4min)
1. Copy the three position-time graphs from the board. Label each part of the graph as having positive, negative, or zero velocity.
CLASSWORK
1. #009A INTERACTIVE: http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Physics-Interactives/1-D-Kinematics/Graph-That-Motion/Graph-That-Motion-Interactive
2. #009B: Warm-Up Check
3. #009C: moving man is a class demo (save for next week)
https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/moving-man (use the charts function)
2. #007C (continued): Speed, Average Velocity, Instantaneous Velocity Notes.
The goal here is for you to memorize and then translate some information about speed and velocity. By doing so, I hope you'll understand the similarities and differences between instantaneous and average velocity, between speed and velocity, and be able to describe some of those factoids out loud, with confidence. Here we go...
a. You'll need a notes page in your binder. The title is in bold above
b. Group: in your group, each person will choose one fact, similarity, or difference, and read it out loud. Don't be super loud. We don't all need to hear you ;-). Listeners should either check the item off on their notes if they have the same bit of info already written down, or add it to their list if they don't. The idea here is that you as a listener have to compare what you have written, and how you interpreted it, to how someone else interpreted it. This helps improve your comprehension.
c. Whole class: We will repeat "c" as a class
3. #007B (continued): Penny Acceleration Lab Write-Up Template
While you collected data as a group, and can consult with group-mates to discuss errors and calculations, your lab write-up is your own work.
