Lots of math
Labs
Finding where a ball will land
Movement forward is independent of movement left and right
You can calculate exactly where a ball will land
A Bullet dropped and a bullet fired (myth busters)

Yes I will make you do math
Use the formula:
where D is distance in meters A is acceleration in m/s and T is time in seconds
Acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s
I know you have calculators on your phone
A ball is dropped from 1 meter off the ground. How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground?
Solution
Plug numbers into the formula
Solve for T
Divide by 4.9
.2041
Find square root of both sides
.4517 =T
You can now multiply the time to the ground by the velocity to find the distance it will travel
The Metric System
Is used in science
Uses a base ten system
Easier to convert
Uses measurements that make sense
Based on unchanging values(mostly) EX: A meter is the distance light travels in an fraction of a second
Measurements contain a base unit. Ex: meter and a power of ten Ex: kilo
Therefore an Kilometer is 1000 meters
Used by intire world except The United States ,Liberia, andMyanmar (Burma).
Problems with Imperial units
Makes no sense (Why is an foot 12 inches?)
Way harder to convert (5280 feet per mile vs. 1000 meters in kilometer)
Defined by metric system (EX. A foot is defined as 0.3048 of a meter)
Used by the rest of the world
Metric Jeopardy

Raise your hands to answer questions
Answer with the question i.e. What is meter
Candy for right answers
Counties in green use the metric system
Football
Touch football
We WON the championship
*I still dont understand the game
Drivers Ed
Class
Learned lots of stuff
Need it to get license
Lowers insurance rates
Makes you a better driver
Driving
Terrifying
I drove about 80 hours
Didn't die yet
