5-11

Today was a little bit different in the Physics classroom. The students have been working on roller coasters to present in front of the class for 4 weeks now. Most of them were in groups of two. Before we got into all the presentations Mr. Manning started the day off by making everybody sign up for Hershy Park groups, which is coming up soon. After having everybody get into groups of four for that, he asked for a volunteer group to present first. The first group to present was Matt P. and Alex. The name of their ride was Subterranean Aqua and their ride was very complex. Their ride took 6 seconds from start to finish in total running time. Also, their ride goes underground. This is one fast ride, one that i most deffinately will not ride. Up next was Wes and Mike. The name of thier ride was Mammoth. They named it this because it was shaped like a mammoth. Their ride went very fast but overall i wasnt too impressed. And the last group to go on the day was Jaime. He was the only loner in the class but he still did a good job. To end the class, Mr. Manning passed back the exams that were taken about a week ago. From what i saw, most of the class did about average. The test was made up of a lot of multiple choice questions, at keast more than Mr. Manning usually puts on his tests, and a couple short answer questions. The bonus was a toughy this time. You had to add up two waves that crossed each others path. From my knowledge, i dont think anybody got that bonus question right. Which is probably why Mr. Manning chose it for our test.



That concludes the class period of Physics for Monday, May 11th. Tune in tomorrow for someone new reporting.
