BRIDGES!!!

This week on bridges, I was actually in Rome.  However, this week seems to have been good for the students and they seem to have really enjoyed it.  I enjoyed building the bridge and applying my knowledge about forces. I think that bridges help people understand forces better as well as things we drive on everyday.

Q1 Blog

I thoroughly enjoyed vectors in this section of physics.  They are so much fun to figure out.  Doing the lab and the class review videos helped me the most.  I am very confident that I can master this concept.  I think that more hands on learning could be efficient for some students.  It makes things seem more real and helps them remember.

VECTORS

In physics this week we have been learning about vectors by doing  a hands on lab.
The lab was a lot of drawing and measuring as well as trigonometry.  It was fun still.  It  helped me learn about components, subtracting vectors, and measuring angles accurately.  I only have a problem with the prelab 9 and 10 and I am going to talk to Mrs. Athens about these as soon as she has the time.
YAY!

Physics CH4

This week I have been trying to successfully pass with an A chapter 4 test.  I still have to take it again to attempt this.  So far I understand the concept and have completed my volos; I just need to pass the test.  I have made a to-do list and hopefully I will be able to retest soon so that my live will be slightly less stressful.   YAY! Now we are working on a vector lab which is fun.  We get to draw triangles and use trig to find the displacement.  I LOVE IT!!

WEEK FOUR in MRS A's Physics class

This week.....I have completed the Newton Quiz, Mastering physics, Reading the chapter, a coffee n-spire lab, and am working on the standardized test to get ready for the chapter four test on Friday.  I enjoyed this chapter because it closely relates to math which is one of my strong points.  F=ma(or)g was the focus of this chapter and also the 3 newton laws.  I thought I needed to work on my understanding of elevator problems.  After doing the elevator lab, however, I understand and was even able to explain it to my lab partners.

Physics week 2

This week I worked on my volo contracts.  I completed the outline, extra work assignments, mastering physics, and the  free fall lab.  I was so excited when I came up with the whole "can we save it as a list" idea.  I was even more excited when it worked.  So far the equations of motion and how to use them has been relitively easy.  I know that that is a good thing and that repetition is how I will remember how to use them.  Our group is almost all ahead and that is a very good thing.  I am hoping to use the test time to either work on physics ahead of time or other online assignments.  Mastering physics wasn't terrible.  In fact I rather enjoyed it.  It was annoying though when there were no hints on some of the harder questions.  Other than that this week has been very enjoyable and valuable from a learning standpoint. 

WEEK ONE Physics

The first week in physics I learned the three equations of motion.  I passed my test with a 99 and I dont have to take it again.  Yay!!!!!!

Hey Mrs. athens this is my blog !! :)
