Explore

Ask students what they think the relationship between acceleration, velocity, distance, and height. Have students record their predictions and complete a KWL chart. Pass out the rubric and pose the challenge again. Explain to students why they are doing this project. Pass out the parent letter and field trip information.

Factor with team/sticky notes Put sticky notes on Posters Visit each poster with team and complete handouts

Fill in the Gap worksheet. Students will be given 5 minutes to work alone on the worksheet. Once 5 minutes are up students will be given 10 minutes to work with partner/team. Students will share their work/findings/results. Discuss students work; whose approaches are correct. Go over 2-3 examples. st Watch 1 part (up till 2:15) of Do the Quad Solve Video: http://www.youtube.co m/watch?v=jGJrH49Z2 ZA Basketball Problem.
