9/9 Lee

To start of the third period Honors Physics class, Mrs. Coats-Haan checked our book work (pg 23 #'s 32-34 and 40-43) and gave us the key.  She also collected our Football lab's from the day before.  Then, Mrs. Coats-Haan passed out the Vector Graphic Organizer that is to be due Monday.  She quickly went over the Lab that we would be working on that day.  She passed out a lamanated sheet for each table that had a group number on it.  We were told that any measuring device was allowed to be used.  The lab was executed on Main Street. Quickly, the class seperated into teams and moved towards their starting points. The sheet that was handed out at the beginning of the class told us where to start and what direction and how many feet we should go. There were multiple vectors on the sheet, but our group realized that it was more effective to add all the vectors, north with south and east with west, so that we only had one x value and one y value (somewhat like the Football Lab).  The objective of the lab was to find the "treasure" at the end of our vector, which for pour group turned out the be under a water fountain.  As each group finished, which not all the groups found their "treasure" (a piece of tape), they returned to the room and worked on the homework for Monday.  When all the groups returned, Mrs. Coats-Haan gave everyone a dumdum the flavor of our choice. 

qod answer:
It was more effective to add the vectors east and west and then the north and south so that we could find one long vector for each distance (x for east and west and y for noth and south).
