Welcome back!!!

There were no news articles due today, much to the delight of nearly everyone.  We began class by reviewing the Speed Quiz that students took prior to the holiday break.  We then discussed (section 5-2 notes) how the slope of a line on a distance-time graph can be used to determine the relative speed of the object.  We also compared constant vs. average speed on a journey.  Section 5-3 notes introduced acceleration to the class, along with deceleration and centripetal acceleration.  A BrainPop.com video furthered explored acceleration, as did the quiz that followed.  We ended class by students working in groups to complete Activity 5-4.  Students did not have enough time to finish this assignment, but it was NOT to be done for homework.

No homework was assigned, but the Chapter 5 test is on Friday, January 14th.
