Wednesday - homework due tomorrow - at the start of class

The rain is really making the snow melt fast, but we are learning about Newton's laws and simple machines. Today we finished the last on Newton's laws on Plato. We also began studying about simple machines. We discussed levers, incline planes, screws, wheel and axle, gears, pulleys, and wedges. Tomorrow we will go more into depth on these simple machines.

We watched a short clip on a mechanical engineer who works for NASA. This is an effort to show students different types of work that a good science background can lead to.

Students had about twenty minutes of class time to start their homework. The homework is F 46 1-15 and F 92 1-15. All answers must have complete sentences and the words must be spelled correctly. This is due at the start of class tomorrow. Any student who does not have their homework completed will call home so that parents are a part of this learning process.
