Week 17

This was the final week before mid terms so we did some important reviewing. I beilive it was this week (this class is so interesting that i can never remeber what week we did the most fun activity) that we launched the rocket both horizontally and vertically off the roof. This test was very interesting because it showed that an object being launched upward and an object being lauched horizontally go the same dostance at the same time. I was the one who had to retrieve the rocket it and measure it, abd it turned out to be 150ft out. So that means the rocket went a 150ft high. Thats maybe is the reason people are able to measure how far a bullet can be fired upward without literally going up 10,000 ft in the sky. After that test, we began going over graphs and equations that not only apply to the unit were learning but the mid term, so it was really important to pay good attention this week. We also did a fun activity with some fluffy angry bird toys. We had to be able to drop a ball off a ramp and land on the angry bird that was on the ground in front of the ramp. It was a good test for me because it helped me practice being able to judge how far an object will move when being let go at a certain position I.E how to position the ball on the ramp. There wasnt really anything this week that confused me, in fact ifound myself raising my hand and correcting alot of people that had the wrong answer for a question Mr. Abud asked. A useful concept i learned from this week is how to position something, as said before. So if i ever want to time a water ballon drop from the top of my house to a unsuspecting victim below,Mr. Abud taught me how. All in all i think i can safely say that i understand almost every concept we learned this semester to a good extent, and i have faith that i have not forgotten any of it. I feel very confident about this mid term, so bring it. Im not scared. Well a little, but not enough to make me cry.
