Week 1 methods 2

Week 1: motion

1. The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did.
1. The big idea that we talked about in lab was motion, specifically how to measure the speed of an object. In lab we made a model of a race to see how we can make a race more exciting between two students (when one is faster than the other). We first measured how fast ahead Julia was compared to Elayna. Julia won by a few seconds more so we decided to let Elayna have a 2 meter head start. Julia then lost the race by a lot. We then made Elyana only start early by 1 meter which made them finish around the same time. 
2. A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture.
1. On Thursday we learned that measuring the spot and motion of an object, we can predict where it will end up in the future. 
3. Answer questions about the weekly textbook reading:
   1. What did you learn?
   1. In this chapter I learned how to precisely describe motion. To describe motion, you need to look at positions and speed.
   2. What was most helpful?
   1. The most helpful part about the reading was learning how to specifically describe position (using those words) and a clear understanding with the difference between speed/ velocity.
