February 17th: AP Physics students in Ms. Steinbronn’s third block class devised a lab in which the time for a cylinder to move across a ramp can be determined using regression analysis. The students made use of various classroom supplies (textbooks, constant velocity tracks, and stopwatches) along with their knowledge of torque to measure how differently-shaped cylinders move down the ramp.
