What a Day...

so much to do...Honors Physics did a bang-up job for the N2 lab. The force/acceleration graphs well presented the data and the slope values were quite close to the actual masses of the carts + sensors. Tomorrow's lab extends the idea of forces with a examination of action/reaction pairs. Read over the lab tonight and look over the extensions. Between tomorrow and Monday we will do the lab and a couple of the extensions, as well.

Physics - test scores varied, but averaged in the "C" range, which is nothing to sneeze at. For folks with particularly low scores, we can take some time go over things again and work on increasing your marks.

Physical Science - people, people, people...remember that part of the examination experience is the time factor. Work efficiently and study sufficiently that you are not having to ruminate over every item. Next time - when the bell rings, the test is OVER. Period. Tomorrow, we will begin our examination of forces, which will allow you to investigate how acceleration is actually promoted in objects. You will not be able to leave behind the concepts of motion - they are an integral part of this unit and more to follow, so sharpen your skills to the finest.
