Kinematics Equations

Today we used your lab results as a jumping off point for the three kinematics equations we'll be using (blue). Your homework is to start Concept Development 2-1, which we will finish tomorrow.

Free Fall Lab

Today (Wednesday for period 4 and 6) we completed a lab in which we dropped a ball from different heights and timed the fall. We then graphed height vs. time. Here's the bellwork:

Velocity

Building from our lab, today we talked a little more about velocity. We also have homework and we will be going over the problem on the back (last photo) tomorrow for belllwork. Have the front (People on Trains) done tonight and at least try the back.

Graphs of Motion Lab

Today (Wednesday for periods 4 and 6) we are completing a lab in which we use Vernier equipment to graph our position vs. time. We then used our results to define some things about velocity.

Lab Setup
The lab itself was a file too large for Google Drive, so I took pictures of it and put them below.

No homework tonight.
