RUNNING ACTIVITY

In looking at the weather for the next few days....

I had planned on having us do our 1 mile run on THURSDAY. Currently, the weather is looking less than lovely, possible snow and a high of 39.

We can still run on Thursday, but everyone will need to dress for the weather.

The other option is this: we will continue with the lessons, and push the run to either Monday (sunny and 42) or Tuesday (sunny and 48) of next week... WE WILL RUN BY NEXT TUESDAY REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER.

If we wait, you will have additional information to consider when you analyze your run.

I will take a vote in class, and you can of course post your opinion here. :)

I've been training! Who thinks they can run faster than me??

NOTE: There will be a variety of "awards" for the 1 mile run :)

Monday Homework

1. Follow ALL the directions on the "Speed Practice Part 1" worksheet. That means that EVERY blank line/space on the worksheet should show something :)

2. Turn in any make-up work by THURSDAY AT 2 PM.

Thursday Homework

YES, I know that you might be VERY confused right now... and I am sorry. I am also sorry that we've been slacking in the Science department... I promise that after we come back from break, we will be spending LOTS of time in Science.

Tonight... please try to finish the packet you got today for "notes"... we will go over it quickly tomorrow, and after February break we will revisit the concepts and make sure everyone understands SPEED!!

Also... please bring back your permission forms, we will be running sometime during the first week after vacation. :)

Change to Friday's Activity....

Attention students... there MIGHT be a special activity during 5th and 6th period on FRIDAY... which could change our "field trip" to walk/jog a mile :(

Here are your options...

(1) We can go ahead as planned, knowing that we will only have 4th period, and you might get sweaty

(2) We can take notes and do more in-class work tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday... and then do our walk/jog activity, and assignment that goes along with it AFTER we get back from February break (I was going to have you complete it over the vacation). We would instead walk/jog our mile on TUESDAY FEBRUARY 28th

We will talk about this in class, but feel free to reply with your opinion... we WILL be walking/jogging the mile at some point either way :)

Tuesday Homework

Don't forget to turn in your homework from the weekend if you haven't already.

We took a few days off from Science to work with the iPads... but tomorrow we will be doing Science again.

DON'T FORGET TO GET YOUR PERMISSION SLIP SIGNED FOR FRIDAY'S ACTIVITY

Weekend Homework

If you did the EVEN questions in class, please pick 3 ODD questions. Show ALL your work.

Thursday Homework

Using the data from the other groups, complete the distance vs. time graph on your worksheet.

In case you missed the data, here it is: (elevation and then average time)

6 cm = 2.25 s
9 cm = 2.84 s
12 cm = 2.286 s
15 cm = 2.6 s
18 cm = 2.2 s
21 cm = 1.685 s

YOU should have calculated your groups average time AND average speed.
