11/8

What science ideas did you learn?
-motion is relative
-slope
-speed vs. time graph
-functions

How did you learn these ideas?
-discussing in class
-doing homework that pretains to what we are learning about
-experiments
-drawing graphs

Why is it important to know these ideas (What real world applications are there)?
-It is important to know these ideas so we can apply to other things that we do in class.
-A real world applicationis when a person is driving in a car and we can graph their motion and find the slope and then write it in function form.
