| Description: |
The week will be a continuation of last year's institute on kinematics and dynamics. We will focus on energy and momentum at the first of the week and go to Six Flags over Texas on Thursday to learn how to take field data relating to all the concepts studied so far. Bring your equipment issued last year to take to the amusement park (GLX and/or LabPro) and we will provide your collaborative with accelerometers, data vests, and a wonderful culminating experience for Kinematics and Dynamics! Representatives from PASCO and Vernier will join us at Six Flags to help your comfort level of using the devices and make sure you know how to teach this to other teachers. You don't want to miss it!
