Science I with Mr. Shoenthal http://mshoenthal.edublogs.org Another excellent Edublogs.org weblog Thu, 02 Oct 2008 18:33:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 en hourly 1 First Marking Period coming to a close! http://mshoenthal.edublogs.org/2008/10/02/first-marking-period-coming-to-a-close/ http://mshoenthal.edublogs.org/2008/10/02/first-marking-period-coming-to-a-close/#comments Thu, 02 Oct 2008 18:33:40 +0000 mshoenthal http://mshoenthal.edublogs.org/?p=13 The first marking period ends tomorrow!  Wow that went quick!  I hope you had some fun in science so far.  We are currently finishing up our crash simulations and learning about Newton’s Laws.  Tomorrow is the last day to turn in any work from the first marking period. 

 

Extra Credit Question:

Use Newton’s 1st law to explain why a spaceship wouldn’t need to use its engine to maintain a constant speed in outer space.
