3-24

To start off class Mr. Manning told us about our new style of reading guide which is coming up with 30 of our own questions instead of filling out another big packet. After he told us everything about it and answered the class's questions, we silently read "WoollyPhysics- Horizontally Launched Projectile" which is going to be worth 20 points! After silently reading it Mr. Manning explains the lab to us more throughly and tells us that we are actually not doing it today and that we are just going to prepare for game time which will be later this week. He then told us that we will have to do all of the measurements first for a maximum of 10 points, then we will find out how tall the Woolly Mammoth is (such as as tall as a desk, 3 books, a chair, etc...) and actually do the experiment by dropping the ball, you only get one shot though so make it a good one! After that we read the first paragraph of page 4 and made predictions about the first question, most people chose II, after watching a video from the 50's he tells us that he's not gonna tell us the answer till the end. Then he did a demonstration involving a wooden box with a spring and medal rod on it that launches one medal ball and drops another one at the exact same time. And it turns out they both land at the exact same time. Back to the first prediction, the class was correct in guessing II.
