Best activity?
Ball drop lab was the best because i am a boy and i love balls! all kinds of balls. Footballs to marbles.
Challenging?
The idea of acceleration compared to and how it relates to the graph of velocity. Especially when it has to do with and up and down ball movement.
Main Ideas?
Acceleration
Graphing, acceleration, speed (velocity), and position vs. time
Objects in motion like balls
Acceleration equation

Unit 2 motion in one direction
Favorite activity?
Obviously the physics Olympics because i won! I enjoy doing hands on activities where i don't just read or see things i actually do and feel them first hand in real life. It is also good to get some sun.
Most challenging?
The idea of negative and positive velocity, i always get the position mixed up and forget which is which. I also had a hard time going between the velocity and time graph and the position and time graph.
Main ideas?
Velocity
position, distance, displacement
vector and scalar quantities
Kinematics

UNit 1 Introduction to Physics
Favorite Activity?
This unit was a little bit bland because it was the introduction. I did find the pendulum lab to be somewhat interesting. I didn't know so many aspects like the rope length, the weight, and the angle of the drop, could affect the results so diversely.
Most challenging?
I find it hard and boring to work with equations and graphs! (:
Main ideas?
The main ideas of this unit were the basic measurements and terms used in a graph of data points. Some vocab was accuracy and precision. Scientific notation was also a large part of this unit. And lastly the y=mx+b equation.
