Lab quests
Your mission: To develop three demonstrations that quantitatively show conservation of motion (one needs to show elastic collision and one inelastic, you can use a third) You must have a well thought out design before using the equipment as you will have exactly 15 minutes to gather your data. Your report will include data, graphs and a conclusion. You must have a group report and it will be a power point presentation to the class explaining your choices and what you found out. Presentations are to be no longer than 3 minutes and will be after the test on Feb 17.
