What science ideas did you learn?
This week was a short week so we didn't learn a whole lot. We did learn more about functions and how to write them. We also learned how to find the speed of something on a graph. You divide the position at a certain time by that time. We also learned that speed and slope are the same thing. Many of the things we did this week was the same as last week, with graphs.
How did you learn these ideas?
We learned these ideas because the Sege Man asked us what are functions and we told him what they are. Then he showed us how to write them correctly. Ex. x(t)=2(m/s)*t. We learned that speed and slope are the same thing because we said the steepness of a graph shows its speed. Then we used another world for steep and used slope. The slope of the graph shows the speed of the object.
Why is it important to know this idea (What real world application is there)?
It is important to know this idea that speed and slope are the same thing because one day I could be a science teacher and I could ask my students whats the different between slope and speed, as a trick question, and I would have to think back to 8th grade science to remember the answer. If I don't remember the answer one I look like an idoit, and two I can tell my students the answer.
