Force and Motion: Predict the Speed of a Car to Within 1%
Workshop
Date/Time: Saturday
, 2:00pm - 3:00pm
Location: San Jose Convention Center , Room B4
Presenter(s):
Patsy DeCoster Director of Professional Development, CPO Science
Type: Hands-On
Track: Physical Science
Target Audience: 9-12
Description: Participants use electronic timers, photogates, cars, and ramps to observe and predict motion. The concepts of speed, acceleration, and Newton's Laws are uncovered during the quest to find a theory that allows prediction of the speed of the car at any point on the ramp.
