3.09.08 SM Big Idea: Observation and description of changes in the world around us are the first steps of discovering and learning about patterns. Essential Question: What are some situations that we can describe as variable? Class Notes from: none 1.How far did the riders travel in a day? How much time did it take them? 2.During which time interval(s) did the riders make the most progress? 3.Did the riders go faster in the first half or the second half of the day's ride?**
 * Problem 2.1:Q:Write a report summarizing the data Tony collected on Day 1 of the tour. Describe the distance traveled compared to the time. Look for patterns of change in the data. Be sure to consider the following questions:

Report-

Tony started from Philadelphia and finished ad Williamsburg. He was cycling for 8 hours and the distance he covered was 89 miles. They had lunch at their 3rd hour of their journey and it took them one hour. And between that time (3.0h-4.0h) they did not make any progress at all. They made their most progress from the start until their first half an hour (0.0h-0.5h) of their journey. Also they made did more traveling in the first half of their journey than their second.


 * Problem 2.1 Follow Up:Q: Describe some similarities between your jumping jack data you recorded in Problem 1.1 and the data Tony collected.**

Both the jumping jack experiment and this trip have time as one of their variables. And the other variable for the jumping jack experiment was how many jumping jacks someone did and in the cycling trip it is how many miles he covered.
