New Lab and More!

Hello, everyone! Today in my Physics class, we did a lab including a battery powered car which can go at different speeds. The question we had to answer was: "Is there a relationship between the amount of time a car runs and its position?" We were put into groups with two to three people each and asked to do two different trials. In the first trial, a group had to let the car go at one speed for a certain distance. Next, the group had to find the speed of the car when it was at five different positions. The group was not told a specific way to record the speed, and people recorded it many different ways. In the second trial, the speed of the car was changed, but the same procedure was to be performed. My class also came up with a new definition for the word 'position' today. We said that position is the distance from a reference point in a specific direction. We also learned about the Fermi Quiz, which seemed a bit complicated at first. The questions we were given seemed impossible to find out, such as: "How many marbles can fit in a bus?" Click on the link below to find out more about the Fermi Quiz. Basically, we have been learning a lot of new things in Physics!
