Walking Rates

Everyone open your book to page 18 and read the directions.

Instead of doing 2.2 A on your paper, you are going to complete the tables on the computer.
Open the folder on the desktop labeled "Walking Rates"
Find your period, and the spreadsheet for you (ex: if you are in period 6 and in the "first rotation" at the computer station.... you'd be Per6 rotation 1 Walking Rates.xls)

Walking Rates
Terry walks 1 meter per second.
Jade walks 2 meters per second.
Jerome walks 2.5 meters per second.

Complete the tables by typing in the data based off each person's walking rate.

Answer questions on page 18:
A) How does the walking rate affect the data in the table?
B) How does the walking rate affect the graphs?
C) For each student, write an equation that gives the relationship between the time and the distance walked. Let d represent the distance in meters and t represent the time in seconds.

When you are finished, do the problems on page 17.
