This Monday started out as any other day in physics would, by turning in numerous amounts of homework, this including the Bling Project and Light Wave questions. After turning these in, Mr. Ebersole broke up our class into groups based on who was at school on Friday. He then explained that we needed to finish our labs from Friday and begin the camera dissection lab. Mr. Ebersole repeatedly reminded us all to make sure that the batteries were out of the camera in order to ensure our safety.  After our instructions each group worked on completing the labs assigned for the remainder of class. At the end of class Mr. Ebsersole told us that our only “homework” was to work on the test review and that tomorrow is our time to finish the labs and review for the test on Wednesday. This concluded our class. Even though this Monday was pretty ordinary one special thing happened in second period, we had a special guest. This guest happened to be one of Mr. Ebersole’s professors who were evaluating his performance so he could learn what he’s doing well as a teacher and where there is room for improvement. Though none of us really talked to this special guest, I noticed him admiring my Miami hoodie.

QOD: How can you measure the focal length of your disposable camera?

Though I am not certain, I believe that this is the answer. You would remove the lens, focus it on an image, and move it back & forth until the image becomes clear. Once the image is clear you can take a ruler to measure the distance.
