Free Fall Lab

Today we are working on the Free Fall Lab. First I went over exactly why we are doing this lab and introduced the idea of linearization. The rest of the period was yours to take data, including about half an hour of the whole class going outside to drop the balls off of the bleachers.

To save time (and prevent the loss of the Koosh balls through a certain fence) the whole class timed the ball drops from the tallest bleachers as a group.

You have no additional homework tonight. This is due on the day of your test (Friday). I will be checking it in your notebooks while you take the test.

Edit: it was way to hot for 6th period to go outside (above 104), so they got to steal some of 4th period's data. It is on the picture of the whiteboard below.
