CPS Develop a Velocity/Acceleration Experiment

In Class:
  • Short demo using variously shaped slides and marbles.
  • Predict: Marble will roll to the end of which slide (there are four) in the shortest period of time? Do experiment and evaluate.
  • Predict: Marbles will fly the farthest off the end of which ramp? Do experiment and evaluate.
  • Rest of class: design any experiment involving velocity and acceleration. Perform experiment and write observations.
Homework:
  • Get progress reports signed. Due Tues 10/9/2007.
