 * It is important to document my daily activities and it doesn't matter how bad my report is as long as I am not copying the work of others. Learning to document my work now will lead to better habits later in life and in my career as an engineer.

 * a = 2.36 ft/s/s
 * I read today's lab and have a pretty good idea of what is going on. They propelled a ball down the hall way and used spitballs to measure the acceleration by measuring the distance between each spitball that were thrown in front of the ball at certain time intervals.
 * We reviewed for test.
 * Began making the Vernier force probe lab. Figured out how to get the Lab Quests working.
 * Solved tension problems, reviewed for test. Guy Vandegrift tried to learn students' names and we began a new project addressing tension, string length, and springs.
 * Discussed string stretch and began learning integrals associated with force.
 * Did lab about atmospheric pressure and Boyle's Law.
 * Watched movie about Newton and developed questions relating to the film.
 * Performed a lab using some fancy contraption with a rotating assembly and a bob. We found the coefficient of gravity as approximately 10.12 when the actual value is 9.81. The percent error was only 3%.
 * We screwed around and had fun.
 * Did practice quiz.
 * Performed lab calculating ratio of Venus's shadow on the Sun to the actual size of Venus.
