Today we started with a conservation of momentum problem, then learned a "magic" trick involving a ring and a necklace, played with a gyroscope, and finally we watched a couple of videos that use angular momentum to explain real-world stuff:
Why cats land on their feet - Smarter Every Day
Aerial Skiing - The New York Times
Homework: Ch.8 (p. 271) #58 & 72 (note: there was originally another problem in this set, but I didn't like the confusing wording so you no longer need to do it)
I also had your practice test ready today, so you may have picked one up.
