October 8 (Monday) Balloons & Bottles Lab
If you missed today: The Einstein Board said:
1). Mythbusters video of busting the motorcycle pulling the sheet out from a very long table of tableware.
2). Handed out the Balloon & Bottle Lab for 2013 and explained it.
3). Handed out the Push That Truck Lab for tomorrow and explained.
4). Gave students time to drop the Factors that Affect Acceleration into drop box R:
5). Donatello did inertia tricks around the classroom.
Donatello does inertia demos
1. ball in cup 2. table cloth under dishes 3. hoop under chalk 4. vertical pile of blocks removed one at a time from the bottom up 5. hard hat with two masses balancing so spin 180 degrees and masses stay put

Can Alex really do table full of dishes???? This video was taken in the fall of 2012 at lunch.
Big Pictures:
1. In the Factors that Affect Acceleration Lab you discovered that acceleration is directly related to the Force pushing or pulling an object (one through ten washers pulling) and that acceleration is inversely related to the mass of the object being moved by the same force (10 washers pulling 50 grams, then 100 grams, ... , to 500 grams) SO putting the two together you get a = F/m or F = ma which is Newtons 2nd Law!
