Today you need to use Excel to generate an x-y scatter graph for each of your three data sets. Save the file and then send it via email to marciarpowell AT gmail.com or print it off. You will then analyze your video using the LoggerPro Software.
Next, Tweet me a series of hypotheses about the following: Are videos made with computer animation better than those drawn by hand? Include separate tweets for horizontal acceleration, vertical acceleration, and constant velocity. Include group member names on your hypotheses.
Complete the TEST in the Unit Packet. You may use formulas as is convenient for you...there will be a test on Friday of this week.

How to look at Ticker Tape Diagrams
Ticker Tape Reading
Read the ticker tape information. Then, using the diagram at the front of your packet, create 5 total distance vs. time graphs on a sheet of graph paper. Graph paper is found in the drawer immediately to the right of the second sink. Use colored pencils to distinguish between the four colors, and measure in millimeters.
Do the first 4 sides of the packet worksheets, as you are able.

The Future of Physics Research
Physics is used daily in engineering, architecture, astronomy, and bio-medicine. But the FUTURE of pure physics happens at supercolliders. Today, you will be exploring supercolliders at Particle Adventure.
First, take a look to see HOW a particle accelerator works, and what the Strong force is all about. You will need to also find out about antimatter, E=mc^2, and quarks.
Then, pick one of the major accelerators, and a partner: SLAC, Fermilab, CERN, BNL, CESR, DESY, KEK, IHEP, Brookhaven, JINR.
Create a poster detailing the following (Note: some of this information is HARD to find. DO your best)
a) Shape of the accelerator, including its dimensions. Remember, many of those accelerators have more than one pathway, so you might be focusing in on only one part of the accelerator
b) Location
c) Major discoveries from this accelerator and when.
d) What helps direct the motion of the particles.
e) If it is a fixed-beam or colliding target atom-smasher.
f) Operating costs and/or energy needs
g) Keep track of a bibliography of resources used.
Grading: This is a poster. Create INTEREST. Don’t write too small. DO your best to convey information. You can put extra facts/research on the back of the poster….as well as your bibliography.
