Day 96
(IWB - Day 96 Stairway Lab)
We reviewed problem #6A & 6B from worksheet 15-3. It helped to introduce us to today's lab, which was from worksheet 15-7. Students worked with their partners in the stairwell. We timed how long it took each student to walk and run up the steps (2 separate times). We returned back to the classroom to work on the lab analysis (questions 5, 6 & 7) together. Students had the remaining five minutes of class to complete worksheet 15-4 from yesterday.
No homework was assigned, and the Work & Power Quiz is tomorrow.
