Today in class, we did a POGIL that walked everyone through the relationship between force, displacement and work, essentially the equation W = (FcosѲ)s. The POGIL is on pages 115-117 in your lab manual, but does not have to be turned in. The POGIL was pretty interesting, considering that every table was missing at least one person, so somebody in each group played two different roles. In the POGIL, there was a section about a retired science teacher who payed someone to do work (the scientific definition of work), and in the end that person earned about $850 for doing things like crushing cans, lifting boxes, and flicking rubber bands. I think that the lesson here is that it's always good to help out retired science teachers, especially if they're offering money per N x m. We also briefly got our quarter exams back so that we could look them over and see how we did.
QOD: I think that the most difficult question on the quarter test was the matching section, simply because of the all-or-nothing format, leaving little to no leeway for mistakes. Aside from that, the exam wasn't too bad.
