    • Bell Ringer: How does air resistance affect projectiles?

    • Projectile labs and page 410: 1-6 are due today

    • Bill Nye - gravity

  • Computer projectile simulation - worksheet due Tuesday

      • Open this link: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/projectile-motion and click "Run Now!" to start the simulation.

      • Follow the guide on the worksheet to complete the assignment.

      • To design "what effect" something has on the projectile, you'll have to change that part and watch what changes in the projectiles path. As an example, if you wanted to see how angle affects the projectile, you could change the launch angle gradually and make observations about how high and how far the projectile goes, then make a summary statement related to your observations.

      • When your work space gets too cluttered, click on the "Erase" button to get rid of all the previous paths.

      • Be sure to answer every question on the worksheets!
