1/19 Today in lab, we talked about many things. We talked about what the most explosive materials are. Also, we discussed what we were supposed to do for lab reports. Guy explained the rules and that we are not allowed copying. We aren't supposed to do this because are homework is not worth cheating on. Slope is 2.7 ft./sec./sec.
I looked at the lab today and it seemed liked the students hit the basketball to give the acceleration. They also threw spitballs at time variables to measure the basketballs distance.
1/26/16 We reviewed for test.
2/2/16 We started the Vernier force probe lab. Figured out how to get the Lab Quests working.
2/16/16 Solved tension problems and reviewed for the test. Guy Vandegrift tried to learn students' names and we began a new project addressing tension, string length, and springs.
2/23/16 Discussed string stretch and began learning integrals associated with force.
3/8/16 Today we worked on how to measure the atmospheric pressure lab.
3/15/16 Watched movie about Newton and developed questions relating to the film.
3/22/16 Performed a lab using some fancy contraption with a rotating assembly and a bob. We found the coefficient of gravity as approximately 10.12 when the actual value is 9.81. The percent error was only 3%.
3/29/16 We had a fun day.
4/5/16 We practiced some quiz's.
4/12/16 Today we worked on the astronomy planet lab.
