1. Richard Matthews, Theresa Lewis-King, and William Wagenborg Physics 590 Summer 2006 MISEP Cohort 2 Final Presentation Connecting Distance and Velocity

2. »Lesson Objectives »What Students Should Know »Presentation »Instructional Model: Theresa »Falling Dominoes: Richard »Technology: William »Demonstration »Making Connections

3. Lesson Objectives »Design an experimental model that will allow for the measurement of distance versus time and calculate velocity. »Conduct a controlled experiment »Organize and graph data »Use a mathematical equation to calculate slope in order to make connections between distance and velocity. »Communicate experimental data

4. What Students Should Know… Speed is the distance an object travels in a given time. Average Speed = total distance total time Displacement is how far an object has moved from its original position Velocity = change in displacement change in time Velocity is distance and direction

5. Inquiry: An Instructional Model / Authentic Problem Solving / Students Control Outcome / Teacher Facilitates Learning / Students Collaborate / Students Demonstrate Mastery / Authentic Problem Solving / Students Control Outcome / Teacher Facilitates Learning / Students Collaborate / Students Demonstrate Mastery

6. Ca n You Determine the Speed of Falling Dominoes? Video clip

7. Can You Determine The Speed of an Object with a Camcorder, Television and VCR?

8. Looking at Student Work

10. The MISEP Influence / Student driven, students connecting with the real world / Hands-on exploration / Students connect concepts learned with experimental data / Clear link between between academic disciplines (math and science) / Teacher is the facilitator of learning / Student driven, students connecting with the real world / Hands-on exploration / Students connect concepts learned with experimental data / Clear link between between academic disciplines (math and science) / Teacher is the facilitator of learning
