You’re doing a great job on thinking through these! You’ve got this!

Are you ready for symbols?

How are you doing on the examples of homogeneous and heterogeneous matter? Here’s a question to think about again, can you tell me three different types of homogeneous matter?

And no, this isn’t part of a moonshine still, but it is copper and I thought it looked kind of cool! Speaking of….why do you think they use copper coil in stills??

You really are doing a great job with the projectile motion problems. Did you figure out how close you were to the zookeeper-monkey problem?

If you need some inspiration – here are links to some Monkey-Hunter videos

I forgot to turn on one of the mics, so here’s a mash up from the past. – #59, the jumping on the moon problem, and #62, a quick look at all the parts of the rocket problem.

HW UPDATE: Only do this TPC: Trajectory – Angle Launched Projectiles – all levels. The other one is optional – great practice for the harder problems, but optional.
