Laboratory #2: Two Dimensional Projectiles - We will only be doing Part A and the Prediction of Range at a particular angle. This week the students will complete their lab procedures Two Dimensional Projectiles. Goggles MUST be worn by everyone in the classroom as long as ANYONE in the class is running the lab! Oral presentations will be presented. These reports are intended to be instructional in nature. The students will be encouraged to ask questions of the presenters!  I consider this process to be fundamental! Oral presenters and and early submitters will receive an extra 10%. Written reports are due the day after the corresponding oral presentation. [Clarify this issue for all students!]
Laboratory #3: Centripetal Acceleration - The principle focus of this procedure will be to emphasize the importance of running a "Controlled Experiment"!
