​Work time on WebAssign due Monday

Thursday, Feb. 8

Mini-lab:  collisions--verifying the law of conservation of momentum through different types of collisions

Friday, Feb. 9
finish lab :)

​Reminder:  Lab analysis (in your journal/on the worksheet) is due Monday, as is the WebAssign we've been working on this week.

Monday, Feb. 12
Self-directed notes packet on Work and Energy.  Document and power point can be found on the Mechanics Syllabus page.
Note packet must be filled out by Friday's class period.
There is also a WebAssign for Work, Energy, and Power--due the Tuesday after break.  Please complete as much of it as you can this week rather than waiting until after break.

Mini-lab:  Conservation of Energy--due tomorrow (will be put in your journal)
Use time when you are not collecting data to continue to work on note packet on Work and Energy

Wednesday
Feb. 14
Post-lab discussion:  types of energy, conservation of energy
Post-lab discussion: types of collisions, how energy and momentum act in each type of collision
​
Notes/discussion/practice problems:  Potential Energy and Conservation of Energy, Work-kinetic energy theorem

Thursday, Feb. 15
Notes/Discussion/Practice problems:  Work, Kinetic Energy, Power

Friday, Feb. 16
