Happy New Year!
You're going to get a lot out of physics this year - not just learning about science, but also learning about yourself, your mind, and how you can become smarter, more creative, and perhaps a little taller ;–)
We started with a creativity/social exercise, and then we built some paper towers after watching the video below (we learned to keep trying, as learning can be messy, and FAILURE is often required!)
Homework tonight is 1) get a gmail address, and 2) improve your tower design!
(here's a link to the HD video)
and for the really curious, here's a link to a video about the making of the cog video.
