Semester 2 Portfolio
Summary
Physics of Sports Project http://wshsarelit.posterous.com/pages/physics-of-sports-project- This project was to be able to prove our hypothesis and answer our question that links physics to sports.
Wind Energy Project http://wshsarelit.posterous.com/pages/wind-energy-project- In this project we needed to build a windmill device that could do three different tasks (rotate with fan, pull a car, and lift a weight). We competeted in the MESA windmill competetion.
Amusement Park Physics Project http://wshsarelit.posterous.com/pages/amusement-park-physics-project- For this project we came up with a question that had to do with the physics of roller coasters. Then we went to Silverwood to collect data with the LABQUEST.
Relfection
-
What were the big ideas you learned this semester? Physics is everywhere and affects everything we do and make.
-
What skill did you learn? A lot of patients and good researching.
-
What were you strengths? Knowing the content and going into deaper research to gain a better understanding.
-
How has your work in this class changed over the course of the year? It's efficient, valid, and good quality.
-
How can you apply what you learned to future situations(classes,jobs, etc.)? When someone decides to slack off wheather you like it or not you need to pick up what they left because then the work will never get done. But you must talk to them about it.
-
If you had to do it over again, what would change about your work in this class? Structure our plan to research better and force the slacker to work.
Grade & Arguement
-
What grade have you earned for this semester? I believe and A.
-
What evidence do you have to show why you believe you have earned this grade? The artifacts below show work from each project and show hard work.
