Today in class we will be doing a forces lab on PBS.com.
You will be exploring different actions that occur in structures. On a piece of binder paper, keep track of the forces that occur in each action. Draw diagrams of the forces in each action and write down examples of where the action takes place in a real structure.
Answer the following questions after you have taken notes on the forces in 5 different actions.
1. Are the forces balanced forces or unbalanced forces in each action.
2. Why do you think it is important for engineers to know what forces happen in each action?
3. If you were an engineer asked to build a new bridge, what actions from this lab would you need to keep in mind when designing the bridge? Explain why you chose the actions.

Thursday, January 14th: Speed Problems
Today in class you will practice solving for speed, distance, and time using the speed triangle. Keep track of your work and solutions on a piece of binder paper under the correct website header.
Website #1 Calculate and show your work on a separate piece of binder paper under the heading Website #1. Check your answers by clicking the "Please Mark" button on the bottom of the page.
Website #2 Follow the slides and calculate each problem using the information given on the left side of each slide. Keep track of your work on your binder paper under the heading Website #2. After you complete 10 problems, come back to the blog.
Challenge Question #1!
Challenge Question #2! Extra Credit: These are REAL challenges if you finish early. List the steps that you took to answer either question for some extra credit.
Speed of Light Extra Credit: Are you interested in how the speed of light was measured? Read this short article and describe how the speed of light was measured in a one paragraph summary.
