No school Wednesday, but double blocks shifted (no Friday schedule this week)
Day 1
- How do you find out about quizzes, skills, and how to improve?
School code: SAAS
username: school email address
password: Ask Mark for your starting password, then change it
- I bought a bunch of "Constant Velocity Cars" last week from Carolina Biological Supply. You would think that if you buy a "constant velocity car" that it would in fact move at a constant velocity., but I'm not really sure. I'm suspicious. So how do I go about finding out what speed they move at? And how would I prove that it really is or isn't a constant velocity?
- I strongly recommend graphing your data as you produce it, using desmos
Day 2
- Now I really want to see what you've come up with for the constant velocity cars. If I'm going to sue them over their advertising claims, I need some really solid, convincing evidence. Show me what you've got.
- Now I'm going to give you a second car, purchased from the same company. I have the same questions, and I want an even more convincing case. I want you to think carefully about the experimental issues with your procedure from Monday -- how can you get more consistent results? How can you get more correct results?
- Homework assignment number 1 is due today. Leave your lab notebook in class before you go. It will be returned on Thursday when we will start our next homework assignment.
