Graphing Motion

Today during class, we learned a lot about star trek, but most importantly, how to graph motion. We started with a star trek activity where we tried to record relevant information while Mr. Burk gave us a lecture. From that lecture, we figured out what the speed for the scenario was at a maximum impulse. We used a position versus time graph to graph the information we recorded to end the activity.

From this, we were able to move on to the buggy lab. We were split up into lab groups and were each given a meter stick, a buggy, and a stopwatch. For this sheet, we had to time how fast it took our buggy to go certain distances. Then, using what we learned from the previous activity, once we had multiple times, we each made a graph.

To end the class, we had a buggy race!! (red won!)
