Intro Physics

Students will be doing many laboratory activities that may require the use of chemicals, laboratory equipment, and other items which, if used incorrectly, can be hazardous.

Examine pie graphs, bar graphs, and scatterplots and answer questions about what is being displayed.

Practice creating graphs that show the position of an object as it moves. Finally, take your own data of a wind-up toy as it moves in a straight line.

Practice the acceleration equation by identifying variables: final velocity, initial velocity, and time.
