Today was the first day of Unit 3 we learned a lot. There was so much information I thought for sure my brain would explode. We learned about Acceleration vs Time graphs and how to draw the proper line to show acceleration. We also learned about changing Distance vs Time or a Velocity vs Time into a Acceleration vs Time graph which was pretty interesting. We also learned three new equations to help you find extra details from a Acceleration vs Time graph. A neat fact is your body only feels accelerations.

During our class time we got to see acceleration in the real world we got to use the danger board from class and someones skateboard. We took them to the hill infront of Bingham and set up timers 5m apart from each other all the way down the hill. It was interesting to see that towards the end of the hill the speed at which the skateboard was travelling almost stopped increasing.
