Today was a fantastic day in Honors Physics. We started the day with our Toys in Space presentations, in which we compared the behavior of the toys on Earth and in space. Each group presented, we made predictions, and then we watched a demonstration video. Johnny was the wonderful person in charge of lights, but sometimes he slacked a little. After the presentations were finished, we turned in our predictions papers, and Hunter gave us a great story about never giving up that actually didn’t have that meaning at all. Instead, it just said not to waste your money trying to get a big Scooby-Doo at King’s Island. Coats-Haan reminded us that the Newton’s Law Test Review was just sitting on the counter if anyone had the urge to work on it over Thanksgiving break. The key is online, and it is due Wednesday, Nov. 30, the day of the test. At the very end of class, we were so honored to pass around Coats-Haan’s prized possession- a piece of a space shuttle. Happy Thanksgiving:)
QOD: Which toy was your favorite? How was its behavior different when it was in orbit than when it was on the Earth's surface?
My favorite toy was obviously the ball and cup because that was our group’s toy, and it made Hunter feel like a Mexican child. On earth, you were able to get the ball into the cup, and it would stay there. In orbit, the demonstrator showed that while he was able to get the ball into the cup, it wouldn’t stay there. Instead, the ball hit the cup but then pushed away.
