Friction Lab

The lab involved the same 500g weight sliding across three different surfaces. A spring scale attached to the weight measured the amount of force (N) it took to pull the weight. What did you learn about friction and force from this lab? Leave a comment for extra credit.

Velocity lab

Last week we did a speed/velocity lab. Every class did a great job! We learned speed and velocity are the same except velocity has a direction. The formula for velocity is V=d/t. The activity for the fastest speed was hopping or walking backward and the slowest activity was regular walking. What did YOU learn from this lab? ** leave a comment about what you learned with your name by Monday 1/30/12 for EXTRA CREDIT!!!!!!**
