Welcome to the New Year!  I hope that you had a relaxing Winter Break.  I know that I sure did.  We will be busy this January as we wrap up the first semester!  Remember that your Physics in Motion Project is due Thursday, January 19th.

• Wed 1/4:  Check off Power Problems.  Impulse-Momentum Theorem and all of its applications.  Introduce Egg-Drop Contest.  Make up rules and start planning.
• Fri 1/6:  Build Egg-Drop contraptions and do drop.  Egg-Drop write-up due by the end of the period (should include well-labeled diagram, description of 3 concepts involved, and what you would change).  If time, more on momentum.  Problems 1-8 on Chapter 6 Problems (#8 is extra credit)
• Tues 1/10:  Check off Problems and go over.  Conservation of Momentum.  Problems 9-17 of worksheet (17 is extra).
