9/14 Jesse

To start off the day today the class watched a funny video on how not to pull a tablecloth out from under the table settings. When the tablecloth was pulled a little German boy fell down and a bookshelf fell on top of him, and our class really wanted to know if the boy died or not, but nobody knew. Also everybody particularly interested in their German accents. After that the class went over the Pondering Speed worksheet, it was not checked or graded by Mrs. Coats-Haan, she just gave us correct answers.  Afterwards we took the graphing quiz, which we learned about in our homework from the night before, it was pretty simple, and did not take long. Then we began our three day long experiment, where we try to get a ball to roll down a track at a uniform speed. The experiment is in the lab manual on pages 13-22. The class liked this experiment a lot because we got to play with play-doh. Our homework was to read/do pages 25-28 in our lab manual. The answer to the question of the day is friction and gravity, I think this is right, but I am not positive.
