Speed Lab: COPY on Pgs 15-16 Purpose: To determine the fastest way to

travel across Ms. Ms classroom You will work in groups of 2-3 (choose

someone who you don’t know well) Procedure:

1. Choose UP TO 5 methods of travel & write down

2. Choose a distance3. Measure distance & write down4. Record how long it takes to get to a certain

distance (3 times)5. Figure out what is fastest way to travel

Questions to Answer

1. Which was the fastest way to travel?2. What EVIDENCE tells you this was the

fastest way?3. Which person was the fastest?4. What EVIDENCE tells you this was the

fastest person?5. Based on this lab, see if you can come

up with a definition for speed

SEPTEMBER 6, 2012

Warm-Up: COPY & ANSWER, PG 16

Use your notes from the speed lab yesterday to predict the following:

1. Devon takes 5 s to skip 10 m. Will it take longer

or shorter for him to skip 20 m? EXPLAIN

2. Now Devon takes 8 s to skip 16 m. Will it take

longer or shorter for him to skip 2 m? EXPLAIN

3. Ahdonnica notices it takes Sarah 13 s to

crabwalk 3 m but only 4 s to run this distance. If

she could race against herself, which “Sarah”

would win.

Exam FRIDAY on: Scientific notation Ranking objects based on size Explaining how ancient AND modern

people have recorded time Calculating speed, distance, time (cover

today & tom)

Notes: Pg 17

Speed: a measure of how far an object travels in a given amount of time

If you increase time, you increase distance traveled

If you decrease time, you decrease distance traveled

Equation: s = d/t

Notes: Pg 17

Symbols:

s= speed

d= distance

t= time

Units for Distance: Pg 17

How do we record distance?

How do we record time?

How do we record speed?

Concept Application: Copy & Answer

1. Maria and Jade race down the basketball court. Maria sprints at 2 m/s and Jade sprints at 1 m/s. If Maria takes 5 s to reach the end of the court, how long does Jade take?

2. Devon hops across the classroom 3x faster than George. If they race for 5 s, how much further ahead will Devon be than George?

Concept Application, Pt. 2: COPY & ANSWER

1. You travel 100 m in 10 s. How far will you travel in 5s?

2. You travel 400 ft in 30 s. How far will you travel in 90s?

3. Write your own example

Solving Speed Problems: Pg 181. Read the problem

2. Find key information (What KNOW, What WANT TO KNOW)

3. Choose an Equation

4. Solve using algebra (UNITS ON ANSWER!)

Key Words: Pg 18

Word What it Indicates

How far? DistanceHow long? TimeHow fast? Speed

Guided Practice: Whiteboards Watch as Ms. M solves this example

If a spaceship travels at 12.0 km/hr, how far does it travel in two hours?

Guided Practice: Whiteboards Let’s try together

If a spaceship travels for 5 hrs at 2500 km/hr, how far does it travel?

Guided Practice: Whiteboards You teach a partner

Suppose Shamarick is driving from Charlotte to Atlanta for a hair convention. If he travels at an average speed of 50 mph and the distance is 250 miles, how long will the trip take?

Guided Practice: Whiteboards Your partner teaches you

Veronica is driving cross-country at an average speed of 60mph. If she drives for 12 hours how far will does she get?

Student Practice: Pg 19

Example: If it takes 1 x 1013 days to reach mars, how long is this in years?

Steps to Unit Conversion: Pg 201. Find out what Unit you are starting with2. Find out what Unit you want3a. For Metric Conversions, Count # of

Spaces3b. For Nonmetric Conversions, choose

Conversion Factor4. Convert unit by multiplying or dividing

Conversion Factors: Pg 20

1 in = 2.54 cm 1 mi = 5, 280 ft 1 yd = 3 ft 100 cm = 1 m 1000 mm = 1 m 1 km = 1000 m 1 hr = 60 min 1 min = 60 s 1 km = .62 mi
