Today is Thursday but it feel like Monday because we just got back from a snow day. It’s a shame we didn’t get another one. So I walked into room 019, Mr. Manning’s room, and of course the first thing I did was grab the three papers that were sitting on the front desk waiting to be picked up. I then took my seat and waited for the other students to arrive and for class to begin. The first thing we did was a daily question having to do with work. He gave us a few minutes to ourselves to think of the solution to the daily question, and we then went over it as a class. After the daily question he told us to take out page 8 in out notebook and read the directions of the lab silently to ourselves. We the, as a class, went over the first example and gave our individual predictions. Next, we got together with our lab partners and started to work on the “working on the ramp lab.” In this lab, we had to figure out if it took more work to pull a cart straight up, at a slight angle, or at more of an angle. We did all of our calculations and found out that it took about the same amount of work for each scenario. After we finished the lab, we were instructed to get a head start on the home work for Monday. We got to work and in no time the first bell rang which meant it was off to period two, and one step closer to the end of the day.
