Today's Activities: We concluded CPO lab 3.1. The students evaluated the four graphs their team made relating acceleration, force, and mass to see if one showed a direct relationship. They found that there is a directly proportional relationship between acceleration and force. We ended class by deriving Newton's Second Law of Motion (A = f/m) from our experiences.
Assignment: Read and answer questions in class from the hardcover CPO textbook, section 3.1.
