BM2, Final Post

Write a 2-3 paragraph summary of what you have learned in this project about driving safety, and the factors affecting individual drivers. This should be a separate comment on the blog for each student. It should show me, without defining a list of vocabulary words, that you know what it means for a car or a person to experience velocity, speed, acceleration, reaction time factors, centripetal force, inertia, and equipment condition.

Please hand in the graph from part 1, the poster from page 2 (if you did it), your conclusions from page 3, and your conclusions from page 4.

BM2, Optional Blog Post for Page 2.

Imagine you are traveling down a highway at a constant speed of 55 mph. Make a blog post or poster to explain how reaction time and equipment condition will help you to avoid the deer or minimize the collision. How would this be different if you were going around a curve at the time of the deer sighting?

BM2, Driving the Roads

Your first task is to put together a driving manual. You can get the directions from me. Before you start, answer the following in 6-10 sentences:

Why do you think drivers need to know the fundamentals of speed, velocity, and acceleration while they are driving? What is the most common reaction time distraction YOU are likely to have? Answer in the comments
