The universe and more

INTERNET IS DOWN (sigh) - here's the workaround:

  • Hook up to a hotspot
  • go here theuniverseandmore.com
  • click on Games / Graphing Challenge
  • click to start the physics, click NEW
  • turn off your wifi
  • don't refresh, you've been warned!
  • When done with 24 stars, get Mr. Chapman to take a pic, he will email it to you, then later you can do the CANVAS assignment (see below)

------------------------------
Here's what we would do if the internet was working - please complete once you've received the email of your progress and then submit it!

Please look for the universeandmore assignment in CANVAS - good luck!

More Graph Matching!

Now let's be a little more deliberate:  Start by hooking up your equipment as before, and then in LOGGER PRO click on 
File / Open / Physics with Vernier / Graph Matching b
See if everyone in your group can match it!
Are you awesome yet?  Challenge yourself!  Try opening "Graph Matching c", then f, (e, d, and g are velocity graphs, can you do those too?)

Need more challenges?  Open up "Graph Matching a", and click on ANALYZE / GRAPH MATCH

Keep on working...

...even if Mr. Chapman isn't there!

Second year students, here's the last WS for the unit CLICK HERE, please work together to complete it and the others. Thursday will be sharing and discussion of this unit, Friday is the first test (look over the worksheets!)  


First year students, keep on going with the graph matching.
