The first week of April was spring break for the students. It's now the second week of April and they have started learning about forces and motion. On Tuesday, the covered Newton's First Law; the students seemed to get it. Today there was a graphing worksheet involving the tortoise and the hare. A number of students had trouble constructing the graph; they were given a table with distances and times for both the tortoise and the hare and had to construct a two-line distance vs. time graph and answer some questions about speed and velocity.
I'll be looking at the UM Physics Demonstration website this weekend to for an activity for next week.
