As i walked into another exciting day of physics with Mr. Manning I was wondering what he had in store for us after the tiring weekend. We just took a test on Friday which I did not do well on at all and was hoping we were not going to get it back. To my surprise the first thing on the agenda was reviewing the test. During the time he handed back the test Mr. Manning also handed back a bunch of papers that he had for awhile. I got my test back and was disgusted with it. While we were going over it we got to see all the silly mistakes we made on it. To some peoples luck on problem 18b. anyone who had inertia in their answer received one point back and a boost on their test. I was not one of the lucky ones. After hearing Cory complain about the answer to some of the questions and when he thought he had exactly what Mr. Manning had, which Cory did not have close to what Mr. Manning had we were done going over the test.

The next thing on the agenda was the Amusement Park Physics Webquest worksheet which we picked up in the beginning of the period. Our task is to show Hershey park that we know how to make a ride for them that is safe cheap and fun. We have to use technology with this project by creating a power point. We need 6 major slides which include; Ride safety, Roller Coasters, Acceleration (in g's), circular Motion, Seat location(front, back, or middle: where would you rather sit?), and a works cited. We have one week to complete it and the project is worth forty points and you can work with a partner. The rest of the time in the class was devoted to working on the project and that was the only time we had in class to work on it. It was a whole eight minutes.



Finally while we were working on the project Mr. Manning surprised us with a notebook check. Which had some people happy and some people mad.
