4-7

Today, April 7th 2009, wasnt too much different than any other day in the world of Physics. We started off the day by getting our Wooly mammoths back. This was a lab that we had done with partners last week. We had to drop a ball off of a ramp and have it land on a target (Wooly mammoth). We had to do all the calculations first then do a final drop. Each group had a different height to drop the ball onto. Then we got graded on how close to the center of its head we actually are.



Next we got back the test that we took on Monday. This was yet another very short test, being as though it was 24 points. Most of the class did well though. Most did not find the test too challenging which means Mr Manning is doing a good job of teaching. After getting back the test we went over what to do for our next project. The project is called, Desgin-A-Ride. In this we have to design a ride that works. Also, it has to be an amusement park ride. If the group should decide to build an actual model, and it works, they will then get bonus points. This should be a fun project to help finish the year off with. Mr Manning took a couple class members along with him to the Physics Olympics today. They will be going there to partake in numerous activities that will challenge their knowledge of physics. Also, the best part, they will get fed for free. And that about wraps it up for todays Physics class. Tune in tomorrow to hear someone different announce on the day.
