Announcements:
Mouse trap prototype cars are due on Wednesday. Chapter 1 Unit 2 Speed and Velocity Page 21 Math Skills- NGSS skills check pg 24, and Section review
Turned in today for one letter grade less than earned.
February 12th and 13th are the days of the race. (Students in Wshington, D.C. Will race the Monday they return to school.)

Today's Lateral Thinking question:
A Jet leaves New York City at 3:05pm heading toward San Francisco. The jet arrives at 6:15pm. During the flight the Captain announces, that during the trip they had a favorable tail wind allowing them to reach a velocity of 725km/hr. 1. What was the total distance traveled? 2. Why is this is velocity and not a speed (as described)Now Playing During Lunch
Force and motion.
Speed and velocity in their simplest terms.
Today's Class:
Students are reading the Unit 2 packet on motion with a partner and will share their notes today.
Today's homework:
Watch the video Speed and velocity in their simplest terms.
Work on mousetrap race car. Due tomorrow.
