Training Trackers

In this unit, your students will construct, analyze, and/or interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships between types of energy (i.e., metabolic, potential, and kinetic) and an object's acceleration.

Developing models to illustrate the amount of energy stored in a system, they'll practice finding mathematical relations, and play with statistics and probability to find answers to a scientific question. In doing so, your students must consider the limitations of data analysis (e.g., measurement error) and/or seek to improve the precision and accuracy of data using better technological tools and methods (e.g., multiple trials).
