Went over several examples of calculations for Ball Roll Lab.
Demonstrated how to set up equipment and explained rules. No ball below the table, must hit 40 or more cm away to count.
Students did Lab - gave them about 20-25 minutes.
Went over RA ch 3.
Students did Vector Worksheet 1. Started Vector Worksheet 2 - due tomorrow.
Tomorrow we shoot off rockets.

Handed back and went over Linear Motion test.
Students wrote up hypotheses for Rocket 2 Lab. Weather permitting we will do that lab on Wednesday.
Started Hewitt video on Chapter 3 - Vectors and Projectile Motion.
Stopped video a lot to discuss major points.
Talked about tomorrow's lab - roll ball off table and predict where it will land by having it land inside a tape roll.
Handed out CD 3.2. Told students they needed to use a ruler to do it neatly and to show the parallelograms.

Went over homework problems if students had questions.
Showed the graphical method of solving problems.
In a velocity vs time graph, the area under the curve is the displacement and the slope of the curve is the acceleration.
Handed out RA 2.5 for homework due tomorrow.
Quiz on rockets.
Test on Friday.
Bring textbook to class tomorrow.

Handed back Sun Lab and went over lab write-up
Work day to get practice on solving linear motion problems. Assigned problems 4,5, 7-12, 14, 16, 17, 20, 22. Students worked on these in class and were to finish for homework.
Also graded and handed back CD 2.2 allowing students to make corrections and hand back in.
