Stairway to Power

Today we performed the lab on page 15-7.  Students were timed to see how long it took them to walk and then run up a measured flight of steps.  From there they were able to calculate the work that they did and the power that they showed in both walking and running.  We compared their rates against those of their classmates and students from past years.
There was no written homework assigned, but I did encourage students to help older citizens shovel out of tomorrow's pending snowstorm.  If there is no school tomorrow, the quiz will be moved back to Monday, February 15th.
