Physics with Mr. Richard 物理

This week in Physics, the students continued to work on Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration. Considering what the students have already covered, we worked on constructing cardboard racecars that we then raced down the hill in front of our building. The students measured out distances, tracked times, and evaluated their own designs in order to make improvements. If the weather permits, we will spent a bit of time of Friday smoothing out our car designs and then racing them once more. We will then compare the data to that from our original race to determine whether or not the students improvements worked.
