Week 1 Motion Quiz study guide

AIM: SWBAT receive at least an 80% on the week 1 quiz.

Words to know:
-Vector
-Scalar
-Distance
-Displacement
-Velocity
-Distance
-Time

Ideas to know:
- How to solve equations with D = vt
- How to find distance and displacement

Good luck, study hard!

Here are some videos and websites that may help you out:

2. Bill Nye- Motion - 25 min
3. Follow the Finch-  35 mins
4. Distance vs displacement practice probs- 15 mins
5. Start HW- 10 mins

Here are the notes from class

Here's an intro to help you with the Displacement vs Displacement homework problems:
