SPEED

Unit: SPEEDWednesday, January 4, 2012

Objective:SWBAT compare and contrast: a. speed and velocity, b. distance and displacement, c. scalar and vector quantities.

BR- Get ready to take notes!LESSON1. Powerpoint notes on: Motion, Distance, Displacement, Speed

(Average, Instantaneous, Constant)2. Intro to speed problems:

– S= Distance/Time– D= (Speed)( Time)– T= Distance/Speed
