Today we started our class off with going over our homework assignment from last night. The homework was XT-Graph Descriptions. We had to be able to read graphs in many ways. We had to determine where the graph started, which way it moved, and in which direction it moved. The next thing we did was take our quiz on the Position-Time (XT) Graphs. For the quiz we had to be able to describe position-time graphs in words. Then there was a situation with Mr. Physics that we had to analyze. We had to find his final position, the displacement, the total distance Mr. Physics traveled, and Mr. Physics average velocity during the exploration. The third part of the test was a race between Mr. Physics and a Ninja. We had to find there positions on the graph and figure out who won, which was the Ninja. Ninja vs. Mr. Physics

The fourth part of the quiz was to calculate the position, displacement, distance, average velocity, average speed, and find the meaning of the y-intercept of a graph. The final section of the quiz was to draw a rough XT graph on an XT graph that was already up. After the test was over, we had about 10 minutes to work on our Matchup and Roundup Lab. Because my group worked hard on it the day before, we just had to staple it together and hand it in.
