Today was the last day of classes before spring break.

Physics: Pendulums

Before their quiz, I had students make predictions about a few different pendulums. First, they predicted how the maximum height on the return swing should compare to the starting height, then they made some predictions about a pendulum that uses a magnet to pick up a steel sphere at its lowest point, and finally we used a hover disc on a tilted table as a pendulum and students made predictions about what happens when the table’s angle changes.

Chemistry: Quiz

Students took their first assessment of the course on representing reactions.
