Monster Truck Demos and Velocity-time graphs

I collected both the Monster Truck and Graphing Motion labs.  I also set up a number of scenarios with 3 different Monster Trucks and we discussed how to describe their motion (speed, direction, starting position) and how to generate qualitative position-time and velocity-time graphs of their motion.

I reviewed how to calculate the slope of the line, and that the slope of a position-time graph will tell you the velocity of the truck.  We then learned how to make quantitative velocity-time graphs.

We also took the quiz on the Monster Truck lab.

HW:  Finish WS 2; get signatures and $$ for the field trip
