AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP
Students used their knowledge of what position is to determine and write the errors in Calvin's dad's explanation of why the sun moves in the sky.
Home learning 6 on the car movement was collected and reviewed.
Those students needing to correct their exam did so.
We watched the BrainPop on acceleration to introduce the idea of motion. You can watch the moving by clicking the link below:
We then took notes on position and speed. You can find the notes below in movie form.
We worked for a short time on the Gizmo Density individually.
Home learning is to update your notebook.
