Here It Is!!!

Here's the Fly Away data.  Hopefully we didn't miss any for those who were absent.

Have a great Spring Break!

Data Collection for the "Fly Away" lab.

Data collection is happening today for the "Fly Away" lab.  That being said, we will not dig into that data until the second half of this unit, so once you have it, store it somewhere safe.

As for those of you who were not with us today, don't worry.  We collected some data for you and will make sure it's in your hands as soon as we return from break.

There will be cake at the end for the winner

The names of those who have yet to miss a question on the multiplication quizzes are up on the wall.  How long can you keep your name up there?

Lab Write-Ups Due Tomorrow!

Just a quick reminder on what I'm looking for in the write-ups for the Mystery Stick Lab:

Objective:  Sentence or two that describes the purpose of the procedure.
Procedure:  Written in "step form."  Include illustrations where appropriate, especially in the case of describing dimensions.
Data and Calculations:  Neat and Organized.  Include statements that describe "why" calculations are being performed.
Conclusion:  Use the included questions to guide you in writing the conclusion.

*Never conclude that a lab was "fun."*

So What's the Big Deal About Units?

Here's an article from the archives of CNN that illustrates all to well the consequences of overlooking units.

New Calendar Feature!

For some assignments, clicking on the assignment will bring up a "more details" link that will provide you with a link to a solution set for that assignment.  I will try to have these up and running for all assignments that are not collected for a grade.
