Topic+2

From the IB Syllabus:
 * //Unit 2: Constant Velocity (2 weeks)//**
 * Standards:**
 * Define // displacement // , // velocity // , // speed // and // acceleration // . (vector and scalar)
 * Explain the difference between instantaneous and average values of speed, velocity and acceleration.
 * Draw and analyze distance–time graphs, displacement–time graphs, velocity–time graphs and acceleration–time graphs. (Students should be able to sketch and label these graphs for various situations. They should also be able to write descriptions of the motions represented by such graphs)
 * Calculate and interpret the gradients of displacement–time graphs and velocity–time graphs, and the areas under velocity–time graphs and acceleration–time graphs.
 * Determine relative velocity in one and in two dimensions.

Written by Charley using above and Modeling curriculum obj:
 * **2.1** Explain position, displacement, distance, velocity, speed, frame of reference, and how they are related.
 * **2.2** Explain the difference between instantaneous and average values of velocity and speed.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**2.****3** Describe an object’s motion from more than one reference frame.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**2.****4** Draw and analyze position-time graphs and velocity time graphs.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**2.****5** Represent an object’s motion mathematically, graphically, and using motion maps.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**2****.****6** Analyze and calculate the slopes of position-time graphs and velocity time graphs and the area under a velocity time graph.

Day 1- Constant Velocity Lab Day 2- Discussion of results, representing constant velocity;graphs, motion maps, and equations Day 3- Applying representations, graph matching, translating graphs, interpreting graphs > [|PWV-01-COMP-graph_matching.pdf] Day 4- More practice and Review of concepts Day 5- Assessment and Practicum Lab
 * Unit Sequence (5 block days):**
 * Modeling Buggy Lab
 * Worksheet 1 & 2
 * Vernier motion matching lesson using Vernier motion match graphs in LoggerPro: []
 * Start with the conversation about speed/velocity from hw and THEN start with motion maps.
 * Do worksheet 2 and worksheet 4 in groups & whiteboard their results on key problems.
 * HW: Motion maps reading- annotated and worksheet 5
 * I think it would be good to add in some IB style Constant V activities/problems- I need to research these still HW: Review of U2 wkst
 * Lab: groups find their own car's velocity and predict when two cars will meet.
 * Here is an old "IB" test i have... [[file:CV Test.rtf]]
