October 22/23
Objective to thoroughly describe projectile motion in visual, graphical and mathematical terms. Why to develop a better sense of independent nature of motion, conceptual understanding of linear motion equations and problem solving skills. Complete Trajectory plot and analysis questions. Above due next class.

Investigate projectile motion on Phet website link: Investigating Projectile Motion be ready to discuss your discovery next class. @http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/projectile-motion

Finish plot and questions. Intro to problems solving procedure for horizontal and full projectiles.

October 25/26 Day 1/2
Finish plot and questions. Intro to problems solving procedure for horizontal and full projectiles. Text book p 73 #16-23 and 24-28.

October 29/30
Lab investigation. Using vernier labquest, determine the speed of a marble rolling across the table. Do not let it hit the floor. Based on the speed of the marble determine where it will land on the floor. Accurately align our equipment and after the teacher checks your set up see if it hits the target. If your group is successful you do not have to write a lab report. Challenge: Use the angle marble launcher to determine the maximum range of a projectile and investigate what effects the range of a projectile. . This portion is an open lab investigation in groups.

Need a refresher on trig functions check out Video L3.0 Trig Functions.
