 * ===Date=== || ===Lecture or Lab=== || ===Objectives=== || ===Activities=== || ===Notes/Handouts/Links=== ||
 * June 5 || Lecture || Explain and differentiate between displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration. Solve problems for velocity and acceleration ||  ||   ||
 * June 6 || Lab || Measure distance and time of moving object; graphically analyze its motion. (need stopwatches, toy car or cart, a motion detector from the physics lab would be great, possibly tracks and steel balls? ||  || [[image:http://upward.wikispaces.com/i/mime/32/application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.png width="32" height="32" link="http://upward.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/labsafety.ppt"]][| labsafety.ppt] ||
