Creating Your Own Experiments

Much of your time this year will be spent designing and conducting your own experiments. We began with the pendulum lab and now we're continuing with "Inclined to Roll", which we started this week (see the home study page). The labs are not complicated but are designed to give you an opportunity to learn in what is called a hands-on environment or learning by doing. Because this is how you are going to learn, it is important for you to understand how to create a good scientific experiment. And that is why I'm testing you on it tomorrow.

Good luck and study hard.

Hey mr.grant

This "Inclined to roll" experiment looks pretty interesting. Hope to get it completed :-)

Greg,

I'm sure if you are prepared you won't have any trouble completing the data collection tomorrow.

Tomorrow night, for homework, you'll create a graph of Speed Vs Steepness of ramp. Then Thursday in class you'll write your conclusion and analysis.

I know it can seem difficult but you need to exercise your brain. You know the saying "no pain, no gain".
