First Quarter Ova!

The first quarter is over so fast! We've gone through 3 units so far, Unit 1 (Intro to Physics), Unit 2 (Kinematics), and Unit 3 (Uniform Acceleration).

In Unit 1 we learned about relationships, interpreting and creating graphs, and variables. It was essentially the basics of physics, understanding basic graphs and the metric system.

Unit 2 was all about kinematics or the study of motion. we learned about things such as distance, speed, position, acceleration, scalar and vector quantities, displacement, and velocity. We learned more rules that we still use to help us understand and find different variables when solving equations.

Unit 3 was acceleration or the rate at which velocity changes. We found out about gravity and accelerating in positive and negative directions. We also learned tons of new equations to find distance, acceleration, time, original velocity, and final velocity. We also learned a new method to use when solving equations.

These are all examples of the different elements of physics we've learned so far in the first quarter!

  1. I like the way you reflected on each quarter individually! I also like the pictures, good job!
