Human with wings flies and survives
Her is a video about people free falling off cliffs with wing suits and surviving
Stomp rocket Height LAb
Here is the link to the stomp rocket height lab. You will need to record data on something during the lab so plan ahead. The lab is not printed on paper. Also, This will be submitted in Google Docs format so remember to take at least one digital picture of our setup

CP Physics Test Concepts for Light and Reflection
Light and Reflection Test Concepts
1. Table 1 applications pg 447 Ex. Which portion of the electromagnetic Spectrum is used in medical examination of bones?
2. Find Frequency given Wavelength using speed of Light, including use of prefixes like Mega and Giga, etc
3. Find Wavelength given Frequency using speed of light including prefixes
4. Commonality of EM spectrum in a vacuum regarding speed
5. Difference in colors of light regarding wavelength and frequency
Ex. What is different about red and blue light?
6. Distance v Light intensity relationship and applications
Ex How much light is available if we Triple the Distance from the source?
7. Finding angles of reflected rays from a plane mirror measured from horizontal and normal surfaces
8. Image and Object and Distance and Height for flat mirrors
9. Image and object Distance and radius of curvature for concave mirrors
Ex Know how to solve mirror and magnification equations
10. Focal length Radius of curvature relationship
11. Drawing ray diagrams of concave mirrors for cases 2-6 pg 460
12. Primary additive colors (Light)
13. Primary Subtractive Colors (Pigment)
14. Polarization of light

Tennis Ball Rocket Project Description
Tennis Ball Rocket Project
Project Description: Working in teams of two design and construct s a pressurized air based soda bottle rocket that is used to keep a tennis ball in the air for extended periods of time.
Point value: 100 pts Project category
Design constraints:
1. Only one pressurized 2 liter bottle allowed
2. No metal parts larger than 2” x 2” and or two grams total
3. No other sources of energy other than 80 psi air compressor
4. Rocket and or parachute must be free floating during the timing period
5. No kits
6. Rockets must have fins and nose cones
Grading
20 pts : Building day credits: everyone starts with 20pts total and deductions are received for lack of materials or failure to build during class time.
20 pts : two page write up of the physics principles involved in your design . Minimum of ten concepts documented
10 pts : completed launch of first prototype before deadline May 20
10 pts : completed launch of second prototype before deadline May 27 Must be significantly different than prototype 1
The following Updated Rubric is an attempt to better delineate the point values in each performance grade category. Overall, It makes it easier to be in the "A" range and raises the majority of student scores.
Updated Rocket Rubric Mr. Davison
A+ = 30 seconds and up 40 pts
A = 24-29 sec 38 pts
A- = 21-23 sec 36 pts
B+ = 18-20 sec 35 pts
B = 15-17 sec 34 pts
B- = 12-14 sec 32 pts
C+ = 11 31 pts
C = 10 30 pts
C- 8-9 28 pts
D+ = 7 27 pts
D= 6 26 pts
F = Less than 6 but launched 20 pts
F = No launch 0 pts
