week1: Feb 6 - 10 Because more time is needed for collecting data. Thursday and Fridays schedules have been postponed until Friday adn Monday. Quiz and notebook on Monday.


Goals:
1. Know how a spring's stretch is related to the applied force.
2. Draw Force Diagrams correctly: Vectors(arrows) start on object feeling the force, direction is in the direction of the force, length is proportional to the force.
3. Know that a forces are pushes or pulls
4. No movement means the forces are balanced.
5. Weight is different than mass - it is the force due to gravity.
6. 1 Newton is the weight of about 100 grams (two hexnuts).

Activities:
Monday: Go over grades and preview the next semester. Try to explain why gliders glide.
Blockday: Big Experiment with springs - write introduction, design procedure, collect data. Homework: write procedure. Links to handouts for lab.
Thursday: Work on final parts of lab - graph and conclusion.
Friday: Lecture, Notebooks and Quiz.
