OBJ: Given lab SWBAT explain the relationship between ramp height (potential energy) and the distance a cup moved (kinetic energy) as well as making predictions by extrapolating using a graph with 70% accuracy.

RAMP LAB - DAY 2 DN: Complete college style lab (title, problem, hypothesis, materials, vocabulary, data plotting/analysis, questions, conclusion).

ACT: Complete Measuring and Graphing Motion (college style) Lab; Review Results; hand-in either end of period or tomorrow.

HW: Complete college style Lab; Work on Constructed Response #4 Packet (due this Thursday, May 22); Lab practical, May 27, p.1- small gym, p.9- room 118; NYSSAE Exam, June 2

Due to Lab Performance Testing Dr. Schwartzapfel’s Classes will meet from Friday, May 23 through May 30

Period 1: room 112 (Ms. Ditrano’s room)Period 4-5: room 204 (Mr. Maxwell’s room)Period 7-8: room 208 (Ms. Drotman’s room)Period 9: room 112 (Ms. Ditrano’s room)

COLLEGE-STYLE LAB REPORTTitle: State a title for the lab.Problem: State the problem (as a question)Materials: State the equipment used.Hypothesis: State an educated guess that answers the

problem.Vocabulary: Define: potential energy (& formula), kinetic

energy (& formula)Procedure: Steps taken to complete labExperimentation: plotting data, graphing; prediction

(extrapolation); graphic relationship [inverse?, direct?, cyclic?, static?] (see worksheet)

Questions: see worksheet (front & back)Conclusion: Is hypothesis true or false? Explain what you found by experimentation (graphing).
