Monday - homework due tomorrow

This week will be a little confusing. Today many students are out working on the play. Wednesday those same students will be gone all day and our classes will be shortened so the students can watch the play. The play does look quite good, in the little bit that I have seen.

Today we watched a "touch table" online. It was created to help students learn geography, but it is also helping in defense, medicine and many other areas. The students were quite impressed with the touch table.

In class we reviewed finding speed, velocity and acceleration. Next we went to the lab and demonstrated the effects of gravity and force on a little toy car. We could see that although the law of inertia tells us that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force, there are many unseen "other forces."

Homework tonight is to read F5-15 and do 1-5. If your student needs help, please guide them, but make sure they are doing the actual work. Check their spelling, check for complete sentences and legible handwriting, but they need to do the work.
