Semester 1

This semester had it's ups and down.  There were some stuff I really understood and there were others that were frustrating and hard to comprehend.  Some stuff that we learned in the first semester was Newton's three laws of motion, accuracy and precision, forces in motion, acceleration, friction, and scalar quantities (speed) and vector quantities (velocity).  I liked everything about this physics class.  I like how the labs are very hands on and you can see first hand what's happening instead of just imagining it.  I also really like the way Mr. Blake teaches things.   He really has a positive attitude and when he explains stuff he breaks it down into little steps and makes sure we understand the material before moving on.  Something that is hard for me is the pace of the class.  Instead of doing just one part of a unit in one day (like the school year) we are doing a week worth of work all in just one day so if you get the material but still need some more practice it's kind of hard to keep up.  Other than that I really enjoy this class and I look forward to the rest of the summer.
