Physics
In Physics, we learn both conceptual and mathematical aspects of physics. We also learn mostly through
experimentation. We are encouraged to work through problems and find our own solutions so that we fully
understand the concepts we are learning. The class is very hands-on, and we are required to design,
conduct, and interpret our own experiments. Below are two links to examples of my work in physics.
The first one is one of our unit review "uber problems" which incorporates the concepts we learned in the
2 dimensional motion unit with the added complication of a headwind acting on an object in flight.
The second link is an example of what our lab write ups look like. We always include formatted data and
an interpreted graph that shows how our experimental data supports the concepts we learned from that lab.
The momentum lab link is a physics lab that we completed involving a ramp that launched a ball into another,
which then entered 2 dimensional motion. We used the distances traveled to determine whether momentum was
conserved in the collision. the link below that is a lab in which we swung a stopper in a circle and counteracted
the centripetal acceleration with a hanging weight. The final link is a mini-lab that we completed in class
that worked with springs and waves.
