Quiz on analytic addition of vectors
Showed set-up for Hit-the-Bar Lab
Went through sample calculations for all three competitions of the Hit-the-Bar Lab.
Quiz on Monday on projectile motion
Rocket Lab 2 due on Tuesday

Rocket Day!! Rocket Lab 2.
Handed out lab sheet and assessment sheet.
Went over lab and what is expected in write-up.
Students shot rockets in practice field. Great job, lots of enthusiasm.
Keith, Ryan, Bryce, and Garrett won the closest to the box contest.
Students came back to lab and exchanged data in the groups. Lab is due next Tuesday.

Quiz on graphical addition of vectors.
Asked if there were any questions on Vector Worksheet 3 (resolution of vectors).
Handed out Problem Solving Strategy for adding vectors analytically.
Went over strategy. Used strategy to solve a problem.
Handed out Vector Worksheet 4 - Analytic addition of vectors. Students did the worksheet problems. I answered questions as needed.
Students checked answers against answer sheet.
Handed out Vector Worksheet 5 on i,j,k notation. Students did the worksheet and used the 3-D Pythagorean Theorem to find the magnitude of a vector with components in 3 dimensions.
Handed out combined problem sheet for all types of problems in this chapter.

Gave students time to finish Vector Worksheet 2. Students took a lot of time to finish it.
Handed out Vector Worksheet 3. Introduced trig functions and showed how to use them to resolve vectors into components analytically. Students worked on Vector Worksheet 3.
I collected CD 3.2 for those students who had completed it.

Demonstrated how to set up Ball Roll Projectile Lab
Ball Roll Projectile Lab - Congratulations to team 5: Chris B., Hend, Matt, Trenton
Went over lab calculation
Handed back Rocket 2 Hypotheses sheets - these MUST be included in lab report.
Handed back RA 3.1 - Went over sheet
Handed out CD 3.1 - must be done neatly with a ruler. Due for the last time on Friday
Handed out Vector Worksheet 1 - Students worked on it, went over it
Handed out Vector Worksheet 2 - Students started to work on it.

Handed back and went over Linear motion test.
Students wrote up hypotheses for Rocket 2 Lab. Weather permitting, we will do this lab next Tuesday or Wednesday.
Started Hewitt video on Chapter 3 - Vectors and Projectile Motion.
Stopped video a lot to discuss major points.
Talked about lab on Monday - roll ball off table and predict where it will land by having it land inside tape roll.
No homework over the weekend.
