10/6 Dombrowski

In Class: today was yet another normal day in Mrs. Coats-Haan's 2nd period honors physics class. We spent all of the class period on the Free Fall POGIL, found on page 41 of the Lab Manual. This POGIL involved calculating and graphing a balls velocity and height at different times as it traveled 80 meters in the air from "your" hand, which is quite impressive by the way. We used the equations from our kinematics card, which is quite useful! The POGIL was homework if your group didn't finish it during class. Our group's work consisted mostly of Onur and Chris arguing over how to do each calculation, while I "encouraged" Kyle to figure it out before them. Unfortunately Coats-Haan frowns upon my methods of "encouraging" the group to work harder. However according to my economics teacher, "People respond to incentives in predictable ways" and we usually get close to, or finished with our in class activities as a result.

Papers Back: None

Assignments: Finish POGIL and the "1st Quarter Honors Physics Review Problems" worksheet.

Turned In: The completed Bleacher Lab write-up
