Time Vault Thursday Rm 314, 7:10am

Just wanted to remind everyone to catch a glimpse of the time vault sealed 12 years ago in the 99-00 school year by Fox students just like you!  Be there right after the school opens tomorrow morning, Mr. Kasey's room.
Today in class we worked with position detectors and made graphs (automatically!)  :)  by moving ourselves around, then tried to match some graphs that were given to us; a tough task.  Groups did a great job of sharing the limited resources I had for this activity today and I think everyone gained an appreciation for the relationship between graphs of position and velocity for the same object's motion.    (slope of position graph becomes the value of the velocity graph!)
Some classes also got to discuss what the slope of the velocity graph meant (when it was flat and not flat, as well as the unit that represents it)

Tomorrow (Thursday) we will discuss answers to multiple homework assignments (p.92 and the WS just submitted) and work more to relate graphs of position, velocity, and maybe something new.  Here's the worksheet.
