Wii-ducation

I admit that the CPS response pads do resemble the Wii controllers and it seemed as if the Physics kids were playing a video game during lecture. It was good on my part to get an idea of how well folks were keeping up with the material while it was being delivered. Maybe Mrs. Allbach will let us use it again someday soon. Honors Physics got a chance to go over the kinetic-potential energy lab and get an earful of information about elastic potential energy, another enegy of postion (like GPE). Our next lab will focus on this type of stored energy and provide a further investigation of the conservation of mechanical energy. Physical Science - don't put off writing up the projectile motion experiment until the last moment. Even a brief coverage has to include all sections that I specified at the onset of the assignment and should be well-written, comprehensive, neat and something you'd be proud to turn in for a grade. Test scores were pretty good - some folks are going to notice a significant improvement over the last quiz. Nice job!
