In lab, we discussed making physics fun for kids, but not dangerous. We designed a race in lab that helped to make physics exciting. In my group, we had a taller person and a shorter person walk 5 meters. However, to make the race exciting, we had the taller person have their shoelaces tied together, and start 1 second earlier than shorter person. This made the race exciting because both people were supposed to finish at around the same time. In lecture we discussed how NGSS played a role in what we did on Monday in lab. We said that we used SEPs to plan and carry out an investigation by observing step size, what affects it, and how we should manipulate it. We also measured distance and time in the race, then used that to calculate speed. We also did some work with speed and how to calculate that, keeping in mind that including units is important. In the reading, they talk about how the benefits of describing motion and movement. They touched on how to describe direction and distance, which is something that I can tie into the lecture and what we did in lab. We also calculated speed in lecture, which the reading discusses, and then going from there they talk about velocity.
