Mousetrap Car

The written assessment for the mousetrap car lab project is due Thursday, March 13.
Include the following in you report:

• An introduction (2 paragraph minimum) on the background about the project, which includes a statement of purpose.
• A methods and materials section that describes and includes insights into
  how you designed your vehicle, what made your vehicle work or as the case may be, not work.
• A data section with your results and the class results.
• A conclusion which should contain all physics principles involved in making
  the mousetrap car move starting from the time you pulled back the handle until the car stopped moving. Principles include Newton's laws, friction, work, potential energy, and kinetic energy.

The report must be typed, 12 font, Times New Roman. You are encouraged to add pictures/diagrams to you rreport. The final grade on this project is a combination of the grade earned for your vehicle and the grade earned for your written report.

Welcome seniors!

Hello seniors! Hopefully this blog will allow us to communicate in a way that is more interesting and technologically relavent. It is a place for you to reflect, ask questions and comment on what is being covered in class.
The directions for assignments/essays, homework and physics challenges and articles will be posted here. You are to take the opportunity to clear up any confusion and share your thoughts and ideas which may include what else you would like to see added.
When publishing a comment please always sign your first name with last name initial (Jay B) as I would like to use this as part of your assessment in the class. I very much look forward to reading your work.
