Rescheduling Conferences

However, if you would like to come on Thursday this week, I may be able to schedule you in because I do have some openings.

Friction Quiz
Our friction quiz is tomorrow! The students will be quizzed on the following topics:
Draw a close up picture of what a slippery surface looks like (smooth) and a rough surface looks like (bumpy).
Determine whether a tile floor or a carpeted floor creates more friction.
Describe that friction creates heat with a rubbing motion (rubbing hands together).
Describe some things you could do to go down a slide faster.
All of these concepts and questions were part of experiments we performed in class. The quiz is meant as a summary of what the students have learned from these experiences.
