First, they each created a list of steps which they would later test. Next, they drew a prediction graph for what their motions would look like. Then, they acted out the motions while using the motion detector. Finally, they compared their prediction graph with their actual graph. Some groups were excited to create their own motions and included many steps in their graph (moving away and towards, speed… text/html 2012-06-05T10:19:56-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/coursewikis/ph111/doku.php?id=days:spring2012daybyday:spring2012day19:discussing_predictions_observations_and_explanations&rev=1338916796 Emily asked each group to sketch where the sun and moon would be, when the sun is rising, for the following phases: full, waning gibbous, and third quarter. How will the moon seem to move over a 24 hour period? Within one day, the moon seems to move east to west, like the sun. The earth is moving, rather than the idea that the sun and moon are moving around the earth. The students acted this scenario out. They spun in place and watched the lamp and basketball appear to move around them.

They completed position, velocity, and acceleration graphs for standing still, moving slowly, moving quickly, speeding up, slowing down, and turning around. They were able to manipulate the tilt of the ramp in order to help them create the speeding up, slowing down, and turning around graphs. Many of the students had trouble drawing exactly what was on the graph, instead of recognizing the trends in their data. They had t… text/html 2012-06-05T11:46:35-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/coursewikis/ph111/doku.php?id=days:spring2012daybyday:spring2012day19:reflections&rev=1338921995 Student 1 Learned: Gained a better understanding of the sun, moon, and earth relationship. Wants to Know: Don't understand how to graph motion completely yet. Student 2 Learned: The moon is moving west to east each week but we see it move east to west each day. Wants to Know: Confused about the acceleration graph. text/html 2012-06-05T09:36:24-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/coursewikis/ph111/doku.php?id=days:spring2012daybyday:spring2012day19:start&rev=1338914184 Daily Schedule Discussing Predictions, Observations, and Explanations Designing Motions Exploring Accelerated Motion Reflections
