Walking Directions (Distance) Follow the directions on the worksheet

Stay in the courtyard Everyone should do their own steps and turns

5 minute activity Be quick and efficient Focus on what you are doing, not on others

Think-Pair-Share Mrs. Larkin’s Example

Think-Pair-Share Think:

Recall your journey Map it out on the dots as Mrs. Larkin did

Pair: Compare journeys with your group members

Share: 3 people called at random to draw their journeys

Walking Directions (Displacement) NEW DIRECTIONS! Follow the directions on the worksheet

Distance vs. Displacement Notebook

9/25 or 9/26UNIT 2 (MOTION & FORCES), DAY 1

• Distance vs. Displacement

Distance vs. Displacement Draw small Venn Diagram (about size of hand)

Talk to your group: 2 similarities for distance & displacement 1 difference for distance & displacement

Distance vs. Displacement Distance: how much the object has moved Displacement: how far object is from its

starting point

• Distance vs. Displacement

• Scalars vs. Vectors

Scalar vs. Vector

Scalar: measurement , no directionTo represent a scalar, use a letter

Distance: dTime: tSpeed: v

Scalar vs. Vector

Vector: measurement WITH direction To represent a vector, use a letter &

Practice Mrs. Larkin runs forward 10 feet. She then

turns around and runs back 7 feet. What distance did she run?

Practice Mrs. Larkin runs forward 13 feet. She then

turns around and runs back 6 feet. What displacement did she run?

Practice Shadow runs 3 meters east, then 2 meters

north, then 3 meters west. What distance did she run?

Practice Shadow runs 4 inches north, then 5 inches

east, then 4 inches south. What displacement did she run?

Practice

Ms. Parsons drives to and from Da Vinci

Design, which is located 5 miles from her

house.

A. What is the total distance she drives every day?

B. What is her displacement every day?

Practice La Luz runs a complete circle around the

classroom. What displacement did she run? (Use feet)

Practice La Luz and Shadow are racing each other

around a circular track. The track is 500 meters around and 159 meters across. La Luz gets tired and stops halfway around. Shadow finishes the race. A. Who has the greater displacement? B. By how many meters?

500 meters around

159 meter

Figuring Out an Equation Here are some units for speed:

Miles per hour (mi/h) Kilometers per hour (km/h) Meters per second (m/s) Feet per second (ft/s)

Speed vs. Velocity Notebook

9/25 or 9/26UNIT 2 (MOTION & FORCES), DAY 1

• Distance vs. Displacement

• Scalars vs. Vectors

• Speed vs. Velocity

Speed vs. Velocity

Speed (SCALAR) is the total distancetraveled in a certain amount of time.

Speed vs. Velocity

Velocity (VECTOR) is the displacement (change in position) that occurs in a certain amount of time.
