THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE

CHALLENGE

Where and when will the hare catch up to the tortoise?

III. DATA ___ Your teacher will let the tortoise and the hare run towards the

motion detector. Use the graph produced to get the data you willneed to solve the challenge.

IV. ANALYSIS ___ Ask your teacher for the initial separation between your tortoise

and your hare: The hare starts to run when the tortoise is _____________ ahead.

 ___ Using your data about the tortoise and the hare, solve thechallenge. Part of your solution must involve a clearly labeled

sketch of a position vs. time graph illustrating the scenariopresented in the challenge. Clearly and neatly show all your work

to determine your answer to the challenge. Divide the page witha thin vertical line slightly right of center [ 60% | 40% ]

SOLUTION

Your math work goes here

COMMENTARY

Your explanation of what you are doing AND

WHY goes here.

V. CONCLUSION ___ Ask your teacher to test your prediction. Were you correct? Why

or why not?

You will be assessed on the following Learning Goals:

CV.6 – I can draw the position vs. time graphfor an object moving with constant velocity.

CV.8* – I can solve constant velocity problemsrequiring multiple steps and/or simultaneous

equations.

This didn’t go too well.Kids were confused by the x-t graph on the

smartboard.

 Next year have the kids figure out thespeed themselves!
