6. Walking Directions (Distance)
Follow the directions on the worksheet
Stay in the courtyard
Everyone should do their own steps and turns
5 minute activity
Be quick and efficient
Focus on what you are doing, not on others

7. Think-Pair-Share
Mrs. Larkin’s Example

8. Think-Pair-Share Think: Pair: Share: Recall your journey
Map it out on the dots as Mrs. Larkin did
Pair:
Compare journeys with your group members
Share:
3 people called at random to draw their journeys

9. Walking Directions (Displacement)
NEW DIRECTIONS!
Follow the directions on the worksheet
Stay in the courtyard
Everyone should do their own steps and turns
5 minute activity
Be quick and efficient
Focus on what you are doing, not on others

Notebook
9/25 or 9/26
UNIT 2 (MOTION & FORCES), DAY 1
Distance vs. Displacement

14. Distance vs. Displacement
Draw small Venn Diagram (about size of hand)
Talk to your group:
2 similarities for distance & displacement
1 difference for distance & displacement
Distance Only: No direction
Distance & Displacement: Dimension, Units
Displacement Only: With direction

15. Distance vs. Displacement
Distance: how much the object has moved
Displacement: how far object is from its starting point

16. Distance vs. Displacement
Notebook
9/25 or 9/26
UNIT 2 (MOTION & FORCES), DAY 1
Distance vs. Displacement
Scalars vs. Vectors

17. Scalar: measurement , no direction
Scalar vs. Vector
Scalar: measurement , no direction
To represent a scalar, use a letter
Distance: d
Time: t
Speed: v

18. Vector: measurement WITH direction
Scalar vs. Vector
Vector: measurement WITH direction
To represent a vector, use a letter & arrow
Displacement: x or y
Velocity: v
Acceleration: a

19. -x Scalar vs. Vector +y -y Memory Trick: H is before V, just
Why x or y for displacement? +y
(vertical)
FALLING DOWN
ALONG THE GROUND -x +X
(horizontal)
Memory Trick:
H is before V, just
like X is before Y -y

30. Figuring Out an Equation
Here are some units for speed:
Miles per hour (mi/h)
Kilometers per hour (km/h)
Meters per second (m/s)
Feet per second (ft/s)
What do all the numerators have in common?
What do all the denominators have in common?

32. Speed vs. Velocity
Speed (SCALAR) is the total distance traveled in a certain amount of time.

33. Speed vs. Velocity
Velocity (VECTOR) is the displacement (change in position) that occurs in a certain amount of time.
