Second, Choose one of the following to work on:

Problem Solving: Go to the white binders on the back table and work on problems from 2.2, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 - Goal: Complete 6 problems. Remember you must show the problem solving method (looking for, given, equation), all work, and correct units at every step to earn a stamp.
Problems in 2.2 and 3.1 are "2 Level" primarily
Problems in 3.2 and 3.3 are "3 level" with some "4 Level" skills in places.

Learn about kinetic and Potential Energy in depth using a simulation- go to explorelearning.com (bookmark it). Login as "physicsfirst" - Password 123456 Click on the "Roller Coaster Physics" gizmo. Download the "Student guide". Follow the directions and answer the questions. Make notes of what you can include in your lab report - this is great stuff for your introduction and can give you ideas for your conclusion as well. Goal: Answer all questions on student guide for a Lab Work stamp.

Work on the Engineering Standard. Create drawings for 3 different egg cars. For each, be sure it has a "Theme", a "Crumple Zone", a "Safety Cage" and a "Restraint System". These should be rough sketches. Please post your sketches on the wall. You can then narrow down your ideas to a single one to build and create a "Scale Drawing", using a scale of 2:1, meaning the drawing is twice as big as the real car. Be sure to measure an egg so you can draw it in at the right size, and the wheels as well. Once you have an approved plan, you can start working on making it.

Hands on Work - Do lab 3A, which involves crashing cars on the track and observing the result. Directions are in the soft cover lab books. Complete all data tables and answer all questions with your group. This earns you lab work stamps, and if you can complete it independently, thats a "4 Level" skill. Quiz afterwards, link available soon.
