First Nicole took her practice of science vocab quiz. We then went over the syllabus. After, we began a discussion of what is meant by "relative motion," reference points, and speed. I showed her the formula for speed and explained the units. I had her measure and add small distances in both inches and centimeters to (hopefully) illustrate how much easier the metric system is! In preparation for tomorrow's lab measuring vehicle speed, we identified variables and used Google Earth to estimate the distance from Juno Road to Ridge Road. We then went outside with a tape measure in order to "ground truth" Google Earth's estimate. We will use this distance (273 ft) in our lab tomorrow. Nicole did a good job!
