Pardon the lack of posting. We have been working a LOT in Google Classroom, trying to integrate technology into our curriculum. There was a week of spring break, a week of testing, and just general craziness! We are getting back into the "swing" of things with a pendulum motion lab where students determine the time it takes for 10 periods. It was a crazy week last week but we did our first egg drop from the stairs behind the gym. Today we are revising our designs for our drop from the side of the stadium. Write-up worksheets were passed out today and are due no later than Wednesday of this week!
We have been working hard to learn about each of Newton's Laws. Today we built structures to withstand force to better prepare us for the Egg Drop Eggstravaganza next week! We are moving on from specific forces like gravity and friction to begin studying Newton's Laws. Here is a great video and quiz combo to help you understand them better!

http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Physics-Interactives/Newtons-Laws/Free-Body-Diagrams/Free-Body-Diagram-Interactive So sorry for the lack of posting but we've a fun week of Barbie Bungee and Physics Classroom interactives! I am posting the candy cart interactive below so you can play at home. Tomorrow we will start free body diagrams and this will continue into next week when we begin Newton's Laws.
Today we started taking preliminary data for our big Barbie Bungee Jump next week. Kids are testing a small number of rubber bands, graphing, and using the equation of a line to predict the number of rubber bands to use for a much larger fall. Today we ran stairs to calculate the amount of work and power we exert. We used this information to figure out the STAGGERING amount of times we would need to run the stairs to burn off the calories in ONE candy bar!
