Today we went over the answers to HW#2...solutions are also available on the Documents Tab. We also looked at objectives for this unit: Constant Velocity Model (also on Documents Tab).
We then worked on applying this model of constant velocity with the Tumble Buggy Cars. Students determined the speed of their individual car and then were faced with different scenarios to work out with another team. We tested their predictions to see how well the model worked. We might also call this activity...Jousting Buggies! Check out the example below, here was the scenario:
Predict where the cars would have a head-on collision if initially separated by 3 meters.
Sorry it's upside down!
