As the students filled the room, you couldn't tell but you knew the sick Mr. Manning was happy because the phillies were leading the series 3-1. As the bell rung Mr. Manning pointed out that the answers to the packet Acceleratin' Experiences were on the board and that we were going to go over numbers 2-4 and we would have class time to do problems 5-9 and what wasn't finished was in class was our homework. Before going over the packet Mr. Manning proceeded to pass out the tests the class took the week before. As many questions arose about multiple answers to questions, Mr. Manning began to realize that the students all had good points. He collected the tests that he had made mistakes on first then the rest of the tests. He then began to go over the packet, unusually he was not taking questions. He proceeded to go over how to use the equations to et the correct answers. He explained how a student might need to use more than one equation to get the right answer. Mr. Manning then found an error in one of the equations, it said: constant velocity= x(f)-x(i)/2. It was supposed to say: constant velocity= v(f)-v(i)/2. He also showed the class the concept of the LMD which means Linear Motion Diagram. Mr. Manning then let the class work on their homework once again reminding them that the answers were on the board for them to check their answers.
