Its Learning

If you have not yet logged into Its Learning, most accounts have been reset.  A few words of advice:

• Logging in for the first time, your password will be "Password1" and your username is probably what it was in the middle school.  
• You only get 3 chances before you're locked out, so type carefully
• Utilize the Forgot Password button.

Nothing is posted yet, so you're not missing out, but it would be great to start utilizing this great resource next week.

Car Lab

How do we describe motion?

That's the question you are trying to answer.  You did it for the first car with constant speed and received some feedback.  Now you have a car with more intricate motion.  You will need to describe that motion as well, and you will many more data points to do it!  How does this car move, and how can you use data to show that?

Obviously you will share the data you collected with the members in your group.  Each individual will use that data to write a final lab report for this car (not both).  Since you did it together, I expect procedures and purposes to be similar, but if you are truly typing it yourself, your voice will inevitably come through and they will be slightly different.  Collaborate, help each other, but make sure you type individually in the end.  That's the difference between collaboration and copying.  Sections that can be typed, should be typed.  Data tables and graphs may be made in excel or by hand.

Use THE RUBRIC, linked here, to help guide you.
These are DUE

• D period:  MONDAY
