Week 15 physics

One the first day we spent most of the hour talking about what to do and not to do in a lock-down situation. The reason for this was to make sure everyone knows what to do if we ever have too. After that was done we where given a sheet with three graphs on it and told to find to of them and how they correspond. This helps so we are able to match up the graphs in the room. On Tuesday we turned in are mouse trap cars and we start on what we where suppose to do this day. On this day we look at peoples different graphs and the graphs they where given and saw the the other graphs they came up with to match it. If they where wrong we had to question them to they get it right. The reason for this was to turn are basic information into the point where we can explain or teach to someone else. On Wednesday, we talked about the mouse trap cars that we made. We had to take them in the hallway and measure the acceleration of the mouse trap car. Sadly, our most top car broke while testing. So we could not find the acceleration. I believe the reasoning for this was to practice for a assessment tomorrow for finding the acceleration of moving things.

Week 14 physics

I was not present on monday or Tuesday. On Wednesday we went over the assessment and answered the question that need to be answer about the assessment. The reason for this was for use to see how he grades them and to ask questions about the ones we got wrong. After that was finished we talked about a bowling ball and what would be the velocity of the bowling ball if we rolled it down the hall. So we went and tested this idea we had to find out a way to count the second and where the ball was. The reason for this was to get the the class active in the lab and knowing whats going on.On thursday we continue the talk about changes in velocity. We went in the hallway to finish up the lab. We came up with a couple of ideas to see which one would work we chose to place a person at each second if where the ball moved. After a couple of tries we got it. Then we came in to talk about what was the velocity of the bowling ball and how it changes. We found out that it speeds up and then slows down. This makes the velocity un constant. We went back in to the classand talked about everything thats happen we found out how to find the Acceleration with the two different velocities. The reason for this was so we can see the difference between the velocities. On the last day if the week we talked about accretion line graph and how they correspond with position and velocity graphs. The reason for this was to see how they match up so we can work with them.

Week 13 physics

The first fay i was not present for the class because i attended challenge day. But on the second day we did this lab with this car on a low friction lab and the ramp at a downward slant. We where trying to find the velocity for this car i she lets it slide down the ramp and we worked with the smart board to calculate everything we needed. We did this as a class so if you where falling along then we would all be on the same page. What we did on thursday find the definition of acceleration. To find the acceleration of something we went to the roof so we could drop things off of it. People brought in old technology so we could drop them we drop one phone we thought it would break but it didn't. The reason for this was so we can find all of the things we need for tomorrow. The next day, the last day we made a Equation for everything we found out yesterday we did all of this to find the acceleration of the objects.
