Week 8
Topic: Motion: Describing and Measuring Acceleration
Students will be able to:
Describe the motion of an object as it accelerates.
Calculate an objects acceleration.
Describe what graphs are used to analyze the motion of an accelerating object.
Essential Question:
What does a meter per second per second mean?
This week the kids will expand their knowledge of velocity by finding out that acceleration is the speed within a speed. They will be conducting an experiment to calculate and graph acceleration and see how acceleration is the change of speed and/or direction.
Key Terms:
acceleration
Differentiated Instruction:
inferring
math integration
kinesthetic
measuring
graphing
Upcoming:
How would a physicist write the fable, “The Tortoise and the Hare?”
