- Find your sticks for your lab group. See the lab below.
- Did anyone get their assignment done for tomorrow? If not, what will you do to make sure it gets done? You CAN come in to my GPS to work on it!
Learning Goal: I can describe and calculate the amount of work done to an object based on the factors that affect it.
Today: Blowdart Challenge!
- Given: Q-tips, drinking straws, tape, metersticks or metric tape measures
Find: Which group can make a “blow-dart” Q-tip travel the farthest. Record your results, including anything you did to maximize the distance that your dart traveled. Be prepared to discuss tomorrow in class.
Assignment:
- If you (or someone at home) is not or will not satisfied with your test results, set up an appointment for GPS or after school ASAP to discuss a retake.
- Due Wed. 2/14: Take Cornell or other organized format notes FOR UNDERSTANDING. Remember that good notes include diagrams, text language, sample equations, etc. Notes should come from any of the following:
- APlusPhysics: Work (only up to 8:18, but future AP students may want to go further)
- Hewitt Drew-It Video: Work
- PhysicsClassroom part I, part II (you are not responsible for the angle or graph stuff in THIS class, but if you are curious or taking AP, you may want to look)
- Conceptual Physics text, Ch. 8: Section 8.1
