| Running the CCE Track |
Today all of the Culinary Court kiddos ran their fastest as they were timed running a 58 meter dash and a trip around the CCE track. Mr. Pinchot and Mrs. Phillips recorded each students' individual running times so that we can take this DATA and determine how fast each child can run (from meters per second to miles per hour averages). Students will practice calculating speed (distance divided by time) and then correlate these times to speeds of several common animals (cheetah, etc.). We will also compare this data with information we collected in another previous lab on rolling marbles down various sized ramps. Correlating these experiences to our text (Ch. 6, Lesson 2) will be a piece of cake.
Parents, be sure to ask your child about the above-listed terms while you are traveling together in your car. You can also ask your child about friction, reference points and relative motion. Your child should be able to explain what all of these terms mean. :-)
Happy Sciencing!!
During the field trip,I felt that we were accelerating at some point in the bus on the way to MOSH and the way to school from MOSH.-Bailey
