Handed back and went over Projectile Motion Test.

Collected RA 4.1
Talked briefly about inertia.

Students did mini-labs on inertia.

Tuesday, March 17, 2009 - Block 2

Students took the projectile motion test.

When done, they picked up RA 4.1 for homework due tomorrow.

Monday, March 16, 2009 - Block 2

Gave another quiz on projectile motion with rockets. Went over it in class. If students did well, they handed them in for grades. If students did not do well, they could keep them to study.

Answered questions on the problem packet.

Allowed students time in class to work on problems and ask questions individually.

Test tomorrow on Vectors and Projectile Motion.

Reviewed Rocket Lab results.

Reviewed for test by going over end of chapter questions.

Gave students time to work on problems in class.

Wednesday, March 11, 2009 - Block 2

Gave the general physics quiz on projectile motion followed by the IB Physics quiz on projectile motion. Several students had difficulty. I did not think the students were ready for the test tomorrow so I postponed it until Tuesday of next week.

Answered questions and gave students time to work on problems from the problem sheet.

Collected Rocket Lab 2 reports.
Collected RA 3.2

Explained rules of Hit the Bar Lab.

Students did the Hit the Bar Lab.

For those who missed in a competition, they need to supply a data table of all the data for competition 1 and write up the calculations for the competition(s) that they missed.

Wrote program for students to check Rocket Lab 2. Set it up on a laptop.

Lectured on relative velocities. Did a boat problem, rain on the car window, and taking off and landing an airplane.

Handed out RA 3.2, due tomorrow.

Allowed students to either work on RA or check Rocket Lab 2 data.

I will collect the Rocket Labs tomorrow.
