Today we reviewed a bit for the quiz next class using a great card sort (click for link!) from Brian Frank (piecewise uniform motion)… the cards had a couple small errors (I think!) but they did great with it. It was a good review and the kids said “my brain is hurting” which is always a good thing! They had to match the written description, motion map, position graph, and velocity graph.
Next we started the Dueling Buggies Challenge. We are using this as a summative assessment for the constant velocity unit. They will need five representations of the collision – position graphs w/ equations, velocity graph w/ area calculation, coded pyret sim using next-x, algebraic Solving (since algebra classes just did systems of equations), and a motion map! Today we started brainstorming and collecting data….more next time!
