This Slope, Vectors, and Wind Pressure lesson plan also includes:
  • Vocabulary
  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

A hands-on lesson using the TI-CBR Motion Detector to provide information to graph and analyze. The class uses this information to calculate the slope of motion graphs and differentiate scalar and vector quantities. There is a real-world activity of a Roof Manufacturer's Test in regards to the pitch of roofs, as well as several other real-world scenarios.
