Amazing physics projectile motion http://www.physorg.com/news172400153.html http://www.physorg.com/news171125659.html http://www.physorg.com/news171650049.html http://www.physorg.com/news170862487.html http://www.physorg.com/news172424425.html great physics animations great motion demo learning site

Catherine: September 28 - October 2

[] [] [] REALLY COOL: [] Here's how it works! [] Where it's used: []

Craig : October 5 - 9 Remember the movie Wanted?! If you haven't seen that, go see it! [|(Youtube) MythBusters: Curving the Bullet Part 1] [|(Youtube) MythBusters: Curving the Bullet Part 2] <---has more of the explanation Does anyone remember this?! EUREKA! Brings me back.. [|(Youtube) Eureka Video: Inertia] [|(Youtube) Skydiving - Terminal Velocity]

Anjelica: October 12th-16th
School House Rock-A Victim of Gravity [] Projectile Motion [] I loved Eureka as a kid =D Thought I'd throw in another one. Eureka! Gravity. []

Candy: Oct.19-23
An experiment you can do at home for Newton’s Third Law

[] Isaac Newton's medical research – 1666 (The bodkin in the EYE!!!) [] A funny video about “MOTION, FORCES, AND NEWTONS LAWS” Very helpful for understanding [] A Java- Script Free Body Diagram similar to the Projectile Motion site [] (Only calculate the values) If you ever encounter a problem for drawing free body diagrams, this animated presentation will help [] “Stuff on the straight and narrow - inertial frameworks” Briefly explains the frame of inertia (weird video, but appropriate) []

Andrea: October 26-30 This link talks about a novel written to explain how physics can be used to make video games more realistic and believable. It also talks about kinematics, projectiles, airplanes and boats, similar to the problems we have covered in class! []

This is an article displaying data from an experiment testing whether free body diagrams are useful is solving physics problems. Their findings indicate that students who used free body diagrams had a greater success rate of answering the problem correctly! []

A fun video demonstrating projectile motion and velocity using a homemade potato cannon []

Stephanie: November 2-6 Here are some links about circular motion:

This link is a nice slideshow that goes over the terms and concepts: [] Here is a physic jeopardy game! (It does cover other stuff like projectile motion as well): []

And here is a video that is pretty good. It goes into the equations and has a lot of the examples we did in class: []

 =Gray- Nov 12 = [|http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/09/top-10-amazing/ Really cool videos, but the last (#1) is definitely the coolest.][|Large Hadron Collider Rap] [|... Rap... Need I say more?] ​​

 * Here is a website that contains simulations on circular motion, universal gravitation and a lot of other stuff!**
 * stuff that explains Kepler's laws:**
 * and THE GYROSCOPE! I found a site that had a decently understandable explanation of how they work**
