Welcome to the first week of second quarter!

This Week in Physics
By Monday be absolutely sure to take notes on PODCAST 4: A Quantitative Look at Projectile Motion. We will be working with that material all week as we analyze projectile motion. Expect a test at the end of this week or the beginning of the next. Depending on timing we may do our Human Cannonball Projectiles Lab this week before the test or next week after the test. (Note: Third period can wait to watch the podcast one extra day.)

 
Cool Science of the Week

What’s with the fear of clowns?

So…How can we get over our fears?
