Day 151: Build Phase (Modified Bike Light Circuit)
Conceptual Physics: Groups started building their modified bike light circuits based on their designs from yesterday. (Nobody said it had to look pretty!)
College-Prep Physics: Reflected upon the video we saw yesterday showing wave interference in the pond (areas of rippling water and still water).
- What do you observe?
- Come up with 3 possible explanations for what we observe.
- Shared explanations.
- Show students long slinky and send pulses along it.
- Use the slinky to design an experiment to test the “canceling out” explanation.
AP Physics C: Began reading Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia, an amazing play about love, physics, and mathematics.
