Students,
We've been talking about vectors in Honors Geometry and thinking of them in termsof air traffic control commands. You might want to take a look at some of the following links:
http://physics.about.com/od/mathematics/a/VectorMath.htm
http://emweb.unl.edu/math/mathweb/vectors/vectors.html
http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/sets/select/dm_vectors.html
After you've had a chance to read through this material, please answer some of the following questions in a comment.
1) In addition to our air traffic control example, can you come up with an application of vectors in another area of day-to-day life?
2) When you take Physics here at RMHS, how might vectors be used and taught? Why?
3) Please visit YouTube and TeacherTube to view some videos on vectors. Come up with 2 or 3 that are really helpful in teaching students, like you, info about vectors. Write them in a comment as well.

Hi this is Nicole from Block B
1) Another example of vectors of vectors that are used in everyday life is driving in a car.
2) When your talking about Force vectors will be used because today in class Dr. Valentine talked about it.

1) Another application of vectors in another area of day-to-day life is driving in a car.
2) In Physics vectors may be used and taught while dealing with 3D coordinate graphs because they need to be used in order to have the x, y, and z, axis.

Julia C. from Block B
1) An application of vectors in day-to-day life is with the use of public transpirtation like buses.
2)Vectors might be used in physics at RMHS in the way of motion. And motion is what physics are all about.

1. In addition to air traffic control, vectors are used in our day-to-day life when we drive in cars, walk, snowboard, and do other things.
2. When I take Physics, I'll most likely learn about vectors in relation to motion, trajectories, etc.

Hi this is Matt A from block F.
1) Vectors are used for many modes of transportation. These modes include air traffic, cars, trains, and many others.
2) Vectors will be used in physics because they have to do with velocity, size, and direction. This is also very similar to physics, because physics also has to do with velocity, size, and direction.

This is Andrew N from block F
1) Vectors can be used when you are skiing, or even skating.
2) Vectors might be used in Physics when we are talking about momentum or air resistence because vectors can be used to solve problems that involve these factors.

This is Nikki from block B.
1) Vectors can be used in many more ways than just in air traffic control. For example, when we drive cars or trains.
2) We will learn about vectors in Physics because both of them have to do with directions of motions.

This is Anna from block B.
1.) If you are a baseball player in the outfield and the ball is hit nearby to you, you have to decide in what direction and how hard you need to throw it to get the runner out.
2.) In physics, we might use vectors while talking about the laws of motion and other similar things, because both talk about force and motion.

This is Luke B from Blick B
1) Another way vectors apply to real life is if a car loses control and another person needs to make a split second decision then they have to know the direction and speed of all the cars in the area.
2) Vectors will be used in Physics if one needs to figure out the speed and direction of object "A" after it has been hit by object "B".

I found this link very in depth and advanced. It is very educational.

This is a very in depth and creative way to teach people about vectors.

THIS IS THE FUNNY SCENE FROM THE MOVIE "AIRPLANE!" EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH THIS!!!
By the way I didn't log on as "anonymous" because otherwise I could'nt publish my comment.
Hi! This is Ben O. from block "F".
1) In addition to air traffic control, vectors can be used in transportation such as cars, trains and biking, sailing, and kayaking.
2)When I take physics at RMHS vectors might be used with things including the motion of trajectories such as a rocket. Vectors might also have to do with Newton's laws ofmotion whichhave to do with physics.

Hi! It's Becky from Block F.
1. Vectors can be used not only in air traffic control, but also in geocaching, an activity which involves a lot of precise directions of motion.
2. When I take Physics at RMHS, vectors might be used/taught in relation to the laws of motion; both illustrate the direction of motions.

Hi, this is Megan from Block F
1. In ever day life vectors are used in sports such as football and baseball. They also are involved with cars.
2. Vectors will be used in Physics because it has to do with aerodynamics and vectors show forces and movement.

hey its Geena from block F
1. An application of vectors in another area of day-to-day life is ways of getting around like all types of cars, trucks and even boats.
2. When I take physics here at RMHS, vectors could be used in decribing a force or motion in a sense that if two cars crash it is the motion after they hit eachother.

Students,
This is Mrs. Fitzpatrick. As I read through your comments it impressed me when several of you went into detail. One student talked about 2 cars hitting each other. Another student talked about baseball and figuring out how fast and in which direction a ball should be thrown to get a runner out. Nice work, students! Keep checking this blog for more updates.
Hey this is Sam from block F
1.) Vectors are used in day-day life when dealing with any type of transportation to figure what you must do to reach your destination.
2.) We might use vectors in physics when dealing with the movement of things, the direction theyre traveling in, and the distance they travel to reach their destination.

Hello this is Mallory from Block B
1. Vectors are used in many other types of transportation.
2. Vectors can be used and taught just like we were shown in class with Newton's laws of motion.

This is Greg from block F
1.) Vectors are used pretty much whenever there is motion and an object moves from point A to point B.
This includes a box sliding down a sloped surface, a car driving down a road, etc.
2.)Since physics is all about the interaction between energy and matter, motion occurs very frequently. Motion can be represented by vectors.

hi this is olivia h from block f
sorry for getting back to you late.
1. These vectors can b eused with other transportation. Lke boats, buses, etc.
2. IN physics it talks about the laws of motion, so in order to do that you can calculate the movement using vectors.
3.Hopefully no one has these ;)

Hayley from Block B.
1) Other than air traffic control, vectors can be used with transportation in cars, buses, and on the water.
2) Vectors can be taught here at RMHS to help us learn about the way and reason why objects move, velocity, and even the intersection of two objects.

Hi Mrs. Fitz! This id Garrett from Block F.
1. "When giving directions to a house, it isn't enough to say that it's 10 miles away, but the direction of those 10 miles must also be provided for the information to be useful." -about.com-This means that vectors are used as commands in terms of directions. When you tell someone how to get to your house you tell them whether you take a left or right. You do not just tell them where your house is and expect them to get there automatically. That is what vectors are. Directions or commands.
2. Vectors might be used in Physics to to explain the Laws of Motion. They might be used to explain the bath an object travels when it is in motion.
3. Here are some useful videos to explain vextors: http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=134921&title=adding_vectors

Hope these are helpful :0)
