Week 7 physics

On the first day the majority of the class did there project. The project assigned was a thing called mobile. There where some very good mobiles. That where presented. This project was present to show how to balance thing. An i guess you can also say to learn more about people. On the second day we found out how to measured newtons and covert pounds to newtons. We used weights to learn a pattern in them or slope. On the third day we finished up the lab and white boarded our data. Once everybody was done with the white board we present the boards and compared them together as a class. The reason for this was to come to a Consensus or make sure everyone was on the right track. One the forth day we had create a lab and white board are data. The lab was testing the newtons effect on the spring. We made graph and found the slope all from the table we created. The reason for this was to see how Forces act on the springs. On the fifth day we took a Assessment on the things we did this week the assessment was a challenge Considering we didn't have a review this time.

Week 6 physics

First day talked about project that will be due monday and we covered some of the basic forces that act on things all around us. But on this day we mainly focused on the the different ideas for the project. The reason for talking about the basic forces was perpetration for our class lab tomorrow. The second day we talked a little bit more about the different forces and got to see how they work on dry ice. First we made a lot of different guess on the different forces acting on the dry ice while it was stationary. We
Talked about the different forces acting on the dry ice we soon found out that the two forces was the earth and the table. The earth was pulling it down, and the table was pushing it up. Than we Found the different forces that acts on the the ice while it was moving. The force was air. The reasoning behind the this was for us to see how the forces act against each other. On the third day we white boarded a forces graph so we can see the different forces on the dry ice and showed off are boards. The reason behind this is because we would have to make are own graphs tomorrow. On the forth day each group Got a different force on the sheet, each group was assigned a problem talked about two groups we got number 4 so we found the the different forces and graph them on are white boards. The reason behind tgis was so we can thalk about them tomorrow, sadly Mr. Abud couldn't be there.on the fifth day I ran the class. Mr abud left a Schedule for us to follow so all the groups circled up and we had a class Discussion about the different forces. The reason behind this was so the whole class gets to a Consensus. During the weekend is when me and one of my classmates worked on are projects together i took some pictures of mines.

Week 5 physics

On the Couples days of week five we talked a lot about the graph sheet and found out how the question corresponded with each other. The class got into what i call a class discuss circle so we can discuss each question together as a class. Each group was assigned a different question the first day we answer the first three question and discuss them together the second day we talked about the last five. I believe the reason behind discussing this as a class was to make sure every knows the right answer and is on the same page Hypothetically speaking. On the third day we all walked in to a surprise. The surprise was that we a lab called the t-bone lab. In this lab we had to get two toy cars to t-bone each other meaning to hit perpendicular to each other. In this lab are group was combined with another group because if the shortage off cars. We came up with a plan are plan was to measure both of the starting points to where the car is suppose to hit. We did that and tested the cars after a few adjustment to the distance angle and time started we had perfect t-bones in the practice part. But when we actually tried for the first and second time we did not succeed. So we went back out side to the hallway to make more measurements and on the third time got a t-bone on the spot exactly. After we had to white board how we did this. I think the reason for the lab and data was to get to things to meet at the same time and figure how to do so. On the forth day we talked about all the different ways people came up to get the t-bone lab right. After we pretty much review for the quiz tomorrow. On the fifth day we had to take the quiz and on the quiz it pretty much asked question that we have talked about in class. On this quiz i felt very confident and feel the i should have a hand full of fours on the quiz.

Week 4 physics

This week the first day we took notes and figured out different symbols for time, distance, ect. we started off that day very slow but soon pick it up. We had to find out what these symbols meant because we would be using them tmr.the second day we all pic up a sheet that had a number line at the top of the paper with arrows going right. The big question was how do we graph this number line in too a line graph we start off that day as a class very slow it took use a few minutes to start talking it over with are groups but we soon got back on track. We figured that the best way to graph it was by looking at the numbers and seeing what that, and the letter on it meant. We soon found a way to graph but ran out of time so we had to leave. The next day we had a sub and we had to figure out how to graph the line using the information we got yesterday we also write it on a white board. We where suppose to talk it over with the class but ran out of time. The next day we pretty much talked about what we did the previous day. It turn out the first line graph me and my group did was right but the second one we where off by a little bit. But sense we talked as a class we cane to the right answer The day after that we pretty much took a practice quiz to see how good we where with doing this graph and answering its question it turned out i still really didn't get it so we went over the sheet and thats when it started to become clear to me. This practice quiz help me with this material tremendously and I'm glade we had the chance to do it. Overall we learn a lot this we, how tell different symbols and read a physics line graph
