Marble Ramp Lab

Today in class students worked in groups of 3 or 4 to do the lab on page 5-9, 10 & 11.  The lab instructed students to roll a steel marble down a ramp made of meter sticks taped together.  They had to record the time it took the marble to roll down set distances in order to calculate the speed.  The final part of the lab is to construct a line graph of the collected data.
No homework was assigned, and the test is Thursday, January 14th.
