(A) Day 7: Position/Velocity/Acceleration Experiment
Hand out materials and make sure that students have well-defined objectives for the experiment. The response to this
experiment is due at the beginning of day 9.
Homework: Complete experiment at home.
(B) Day 8: Position/Velocity/Acceleration Experiment
Discuss problems with experiments, data collection and whatnot. Give students time with a laptop or in computer lab to type
their responses.
Homework: Complete write-up for experiment and get data and graphs ready to submit tomorrow.
(A) Day 9: Product Rule
Section 3 topics to cover are to look at the proof of the product rule and to examine differences between functions
𝑦 = 𝑐 βˆ™ 𝑓(π‘₯) and 𝑦 = 𝑓(π‘₯) βˆ™ 𝑔(π‘₯). We will look at a few basic examples of product rule and save the tough ones for tomorrow.
