Closing in on Closing Time

I was out dead yesterday, so folks worked on completing labs, studying for tests or taking a peek forward to new things.

Intro Physics did the peeking ahead to work and simple machines and began an activity today looking at levers and the concept of mechanical advantage. Folks are looking at all three classes of levers and calculating ideal and actual mechanical advantage for three configurations of each. The lab will finish tomorrow and this is where we'll pick up when we return from break.

Physics D, F and Honors Physics reviewed for tomorrow's exam. We went through the material page by page, highlighting what is and is not fair game for the test and answered questions about the concepts and the math. I'm available before school tomorrow for any last minute issues, so stop in if you need help. When we get back, we start in on forces in fluids.
