Thursday's assignment was turned in today, as was the web quest from Monday's class. Each lab group built a roller coaster model today in lab. Make-up topic: Draw a roller coaster track with at least 4 hills and 4 loops. State the elevation at each hill and at the starting point of the coaster. Choose 8 points along the track and state what type of energy (kinetic or potential) is dominating at that point. Show where along the track the potential energy is the greatest and where along the track the kinetic energy is the greatest.
Tomorrow in class we will discuss Section 3 and on Friday we will discuss Section 4 of Chapter 13.
If you missed Tuesday's Metrics quiz, you can make it up before school on Thursday at 8:30 or Friday at 8:30.
The Chapter 13 test will be on December 19th. The notebooks will be checked on December 20th.

Students took a Metrics quiz today and spent the rest of the period working on any assignment since last Thursday that they had yet to complete. Reminder to those of you that have not turned in last Thursday's assignment: Tomorrow is the last day to turn the work in.
On Wednesday the students will work in groups to construct a model of a roller coaster. The information they collected in class on Monday while doing the web quest will be of use to them in the lab.
The Chapter 13 test will be on December 19th. Notebooks will be checked on December 20th. (If you need help organizing your notebook, get with me before the 19th.)
See you in lab on Wednesday!
