1. Velocity Day 8

2. Welcome to FPC: A time(s) vs. distance(m) graph contains the following points: (6, 3) and (8, 4). – What is the slope of this line? – The data used to make this graph was produced by a crawling lizard. What does the slope tell you about the lizard? – Write a velocity equation that represents/models the motion of the lizard. You have TEN MINUTES

3. Learning Targets I can model the velocity of an object using tables, graphs and equations

4. Notebook Set Up Turn to the next two blank facing pages On the right hand side glue in the “how to manipulate equations” handout

5. How to manipulate equations What does “manipulate” mean? To move, arrange and control Manipulate equations=move the parts of an equation around In math: “solve for a variable” Why do you do it? To get the equation in a form that matches the question you are trying to answer How is it done? Follow along and complete the handout...

6. Quick Practice 10 minutes 1.d=vt 1.Solve for t 2.95=9.5t 1.Solve for t 3.100=5t+10 1.Solve for t 4.d=4.6t+15 –Solve for t Copy these problems 1-4 on left hand page, facing handout, then solve Title Page: “Practice” I will call on students to solve problems under the document camera
