Motion Review

All of the questions will fall under one or more of the sub set standards (letters a, b, c, etc).  Under each of the subset standard will be the name of the activity that you will use to review the necessary material to help you answer the questions on the test.  Some of the questions on the test will look very familar and other questions will test your ability to use your knowledge and apply it to a new situation. Print out a copy of this review sheet and bring it to the review session to help you.

1. The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position. As a basis for understanding this concept:

    a. Students know position is defined in relation to some choice of a standard reference point and a set of reference directions.

        9:1 Motion  Define the key terms,  Notes: Frame of Reference;  Star'tling Discovery,  Distance and Displacement 
        Lab: Star Chart: Is the sky moving?  Lab quiz,  Relative Motion-the river 

    b. Students know that average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time elapsed and that the speed of an object along the path traveled can vary.
        5 questions
     9:2 Speed and Velocity Define the key terms, Notes:  Speed and Velocity  , lab A Walk in the Park , Worksheet Snail's Pace,Worksheet: Calculating Motion
 
    c. Students know how to solve problems involving distance, time, and average speed.
  see 1b regarding knowledge of formula

   d. Students know the velocity of an object must be described by specifying both the direction and the speed of the object.
