PHYSICS – Here are the velocity problems from Friday. You did a great job on these! Do you see what I mean about learning to think through them? Do you think you can tackle #11 now?
Stay strong on those next five problems! Make sure to do more than just show the math – be sure that I can also follow your logic in the formulas. Ditto with units, etc.
Don’t give up on the tortoise and the hare. A couple of hints: remember the problems we did in class today – it’s kind of like those. The distance the tortoise travels is the same as the distance the hare travels plus the extra 20 cm he was ahead. Also, the time the hare raced is equal to the time of the tortoise minus those two minutes he rested.
We’ll work through them in class if you need some help, but FIRST, make sure you have already worked them yourself – even if you think your work is wrong!
Now go have fun! And have a great weekend!! 🙂

Struggle: I’ve had difficulty fully understanding some the velocity and distance problems this week. Practicing the problems today in class helped a lot for me to better understand how to think through them!
T – You can do it! 🙂
I really enjoyed making oobleck this week! It’s so cool how it’s hard when you stir it, but it looks like a liquid!
Even though it’s VERY tedious going through and deriving everything completely, I know it will be a big help in the future when the problems get much more difficult.
This week when you gave us the buggy activity, you allowed us to figure out on our own what and how to do the activity before you taught the lesson. I did struggle some on the velocity problems, but after more practice in class today I have learned to logically think through and figure it out step by step.
I struggled with fully understanding the velocity problem that we learned today. I get a little confused about when to apply displacement or distance. I am going to re-watch the lesson and practice practice practice this weekend!
M – You can do it!!! 🙂
