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.

Week 12 physics

On the first day we finished up all of the rest of the projects. This took up most of the class time with the different people presenting. After everyone was done presenting, we as a class look at this pulley lab he asked if the, if he lets it go one of the sides with a weigh on it will it make the pulley move. I said no, some people agreed but others disagreed. So we tested it and it moved. The reason for showing use this was to see who would be right about the lab. The next day we tested the same pulley with different weights and he let it go it didn't move. It turn out that yesterday that the weight was to small to be Accurate so he switch the weights with bigger ones. But then we did another test what if he gave one side a little pull would it slow down stop or move at a constant rate. I choose a constant rate and so did the most of the class. We tested this and we where right. The reason for this was to show objects can move and still be at a constant. We also answer some question on a piece of paper. On the next day each group was assigned a different problem and we white boarded and presented the problems. The reason for this was to make sure everyone is on the same page. On the next day we did this race car lab. We where trying to find was the velocity constant if the car is pulled by a weight at the end of a low friction track. We first found out if it takes alot of weight to pull the car. The reason for this was to see how it would act on the car. On the next day we had a assessment. The assessment wasn't very hard, it was all stuff that we have seen before. I fell pretty confident in this assessment. Once everyone was done with the assessment we finished up the lab from yesterday.

Week 11 physics

This week we presented are bridge designs. We also had a Presentation that went along with the bridge. During the testing of the bridge design we put weights on the bridge to see how much it could handle. When we where putting on the weights i was a little nervous, but we ended up holding all the weights possible. So in my experience this project was a complete success

Week 10 physics

On the first day we talked about the project that is due monday next week.we talked alot about the what you can use and what type of designs you can use to. We also talked about what is pulling or pushing more on the bridge the weigh on it or the earths forces pulling more. On the second day we talked about force pares and what are force pares. We did many examples to support and show what force paring is. On the third day i wasn't present in class. On the forth day we talked and went over what going to be on the test tomorrow. Are group went to the back of the class to study for the assessment. On the forth day we took the assessment it was pretty easy given the fact we had the same type of questions the day before. I believe that i did very well on this assessment

Week 8 physics

On the first day we where asked questions about how the three weights hanging off the table and how they can balance. we tested and tried many different ways to balance. We found that the different angles affect the balance of the forces. The reason for this was because we find do different angle effect balance of the forces. On the second day we got a sheet with different forces on them. There where eight questions and are group got question eight on the sheet we had to answer the problem and white board the data. The reason for this was to make sure that we got the concept of the different forces acting in the different problems. On the third day we presented the white board and saw in the different groups how the forces act in their problems. The reason for this is so we can see different problems. Thursday is the day we had did many force test the first was when we had 4 different people lay there heads on each other laps. All at different angles. We also dod other standing by the wall test. No body past those. The reason for this was to show how your center of gravity changes.
