4th Six Weeks (WK 2) Acceleration








Acceleration?

Speed and Velocity Song
·         Acceleration

o   How do we measure changing velocity?
o   Define Acceleration
o   Identify common acceleration units




·         Acceleration
·         How is average acceleration calculated?
o   Calculate average acceleration





·          Acceleration
·         How can accelerating objects change velocity?
o   Recognize that acceleration is a change in speed, direction, or both
o   Predict the outcome of velocity and acceleration being in the same direction and in opposite directions.
