013 – Translating Motion Maps
Sorry for the delay… I started by sharing a sample problem of how to go from a motion map to all of the other representations. (x-t, v-t, equations, word description). Then students were assigned one problem (as a class) and … Continue reading
012 – Translating a Position Time graph.
Wednesday – I gave each group of 3-4 a different graph showing basic motion. They needed to transfer it into the different representations. They each had to create the motion equation from the graph and answer some questions concerning it. … Continue reading
011a – Awesome Stuff Kids Do!

005 – Circles Lab
The students are really starting to get the idea of how to plot data and look at a linear relationship. Today we take a super quick look at how the diameter of a circle is related to its circumference and … Continue reading
Day 004 – Squares Lab
We worked on another lab stolen from @mr_pata. We actually completed two different graphical analysis in class today. The first involved length (cm) vs. length (in). We discussed the difference between finding slope by counting boxes vs. counting the actual … Continue reading
