Unit 1 Kinematics
Complete the assignments below. Anti-green is Must-Do, green is Should-DO, anti-red is Strive-to-Do, and anti-blue is there if you need extra help.
At the end of each unit, there will be a review activity, followed by a test. Everyone will participate in the review activity and test at the same time.
All activities should be completed cooperatively with 1 partner unless otherwise noted.
Before asking Mr. Skapetis a question, you must ask at least 3 classmates your question. If they do not sufficiently answer your question, then you may ask. It's not that he doesn't want to help you, but this policy frees him to reteach and grade the steady flow of work.
If there seems to be a glitch in my system or thinking, please let me know so this can be a smooth process going forward.
*Hint* If it's underlined, it's a link.
I can plot constant velocity on a displacement vs time graph
I can compare the difference between a vector and scalar quantity
Retrieve the printed guided notes in the link above. Then follow along in class or watch the videos below and complete the guide. Pause as necessary. Though this is to be completed independently, you may ask questions with each other if you are struggling to understand. Don't forget you can pause and rewind.
