I STARTER: It is important that we be able to convert time from days to hours to minutes to seconds. Make the below conversions and show your work!
1. Convert 7 days into hours.2. Convert 8 ½ hours into minutes.3. Convert 1 hour 45 min’s into seconds.
II PRACTICE: Bubble Gum Physics LabGlue in Bubble Gum Physics lab and complete.
III APPLICATION:• Insert notes on graphing and complete graph
from Bubble Gum Physics Lab data.
• Variables are factors, conditions, and/or relationships that can change or be changed. (Growing plants with different amounts of water.)
Variables
• a factor or condition that is changed on purpose. (Different amounts of water). [ON THE HORIZONTAL AXIS].
Independent Variable
• a factor that might be affected as a result of the change in the independent variable. – Example(Height of plants depending upon how
much water the plant received.) [ON THE VERTICAL AXIS]
Dependent Variable
• a factor that is not changed. (Same soil and same amount of light each day.)
Controlled variable
• Data is the information collected from observations.
• Bar graphs are used to compare information about similar things.
• Line graphs are in which line segments are connected to show changes that occur, often over a period of time.
• An interval, increment, or scale is the increase in size or number.
• The horizontal axis is found on the bottom of the graph and is used to show the manipulated variable.
• The vertical axis is found on the side of the graph and is used to show the responding variable.

Graphing Activity
IV CONNECTION:
Put into place a plan using speed, time, and distance calculations for a road trip.
This road trip will be a total of 75 miles and you will be able to keep a steady 70 miles per hour
You will also need to factor in 2 stops that will add on an additional 5 minutes each.
Show your math to calculate how long the trip will take and tell what time grandma should expect you to arrive if you leave at 8:00 am.
V EXIT:• Write a well written paragraph (5 sentences!)
summarizing what you learned today. Also, list any questions you may still have about Speed, Time, & Distance.
