This week we started a new Lesson which was Lesson 4. It was in a huge kinomatics packet online which we had to complete about 12 pages or something like that. It was on graphs about clock readings and position. Each chart we had to answer a bunch of questions and then make a bunch of graphs. It was a ton of work to start out the new unit. Also this week was very bad because most of our classmates did not complete there homework which got Mr. Finley very angry. I admitt I missed my home work too but only for once out of the three days we had consistent no homeworks. The whole week was really centered to the new unit and Lesson 4. We only had the won teaching which was the graphs.
On the first day that not much people did there homework we were starting the new lesson so I was in the group that did there homework and got to move on. In the "front group" Mr. Finley called it we learned about how graphs should look like if the data on the chart. Was trying to say that the data was speeding up, slowing down, or going at a constant rate. If it was going at a constant rate then the term line would be going up and it wouldn't be curving down or up. If the term line was speeding up then the term line would be getting more vertical. For the slowing down it would be getting more horizantal.
This wek was all lerning about the new unit and learning about the graphs and charts and how to express them in differnt ways. The real world applactions for this week are if your an engineer fopr a roller coaster buisness. And perhaps you want to explain to your boss that the ride is speeding up or slowing down at certain points. You can give him graphs of the speeding up and slowing down or even in a constant rate. The you can show him the charts you got the data for the graphs from and he will be impressed. Give you a permotion.
