THE PHYSICS JOURNALIST Matt Wolfe Period 3 3/23/2009

Today was a beautiful day in the physics world. At approximately 9:45 am, every student in attendance was collective and calmly awaiting Mr. Manning’s mind boggling physics information for the day. As we all sat down Mr. Manning preceded to hand back a sizeable amount of work the class did last week consisting of exams, daily questions, TPJ’s, and miscellaneous homework. After all the work was returned Mr. Manning rapidly went over all the correct answers from Fridays exam and attended to any confused students in a very friendly manner. He then continued to use the Hershey park field trip to tickle our physics taste buds and introduced a brand new 40 point assignment. The assignment is a research project. The purpose of this project is to inform ourselves and anyone else about the acceleration, g’s occurred, difference in seat placement, and circular motion of most amusement thrill rides. We will use this information as a bridge covering the gap between our understanding of physics now, and our understanding that we must have when we go on our physics field trip. After Mr. Manning explained this project to us he let us disperse, in groups of two, throughout the classroom to start working on the project. The assignment is due one week from today, next Monday the 30th. Overall, today in physics was a mind-numbing road-trip down the concept of physical reality.

P.S. ask Mr. Manning about the string theory.
