In class today we wrapped up unit 6 and tomorrow we have our final exam for the 1st semester. In order to help us we're supposed to write a blog post about what we will take away or what we have learned so far. That way we know what to study when we can't remember things to put into our blog post. We also are supposed to write about the challenges of this semester / content of this semester.

What I will take away from Semester 1 physics. I learned so much this semester I dont know where to start. I guess mainly I will take away most of what we've learned, so far everything has kind of made sense. Each unit lead into the next which made it pretty easy to grasp and follow along with. The only thing i had trouble with was unit 5. The Soh-Cah-Toa thing didn't really make sense to me until like the day of the test when we reviewed/last minute teaching. Thank goodness I understood it because it was all over that test!

Today in class we also got to do a cool experiment to see how a pulley changes the direction of force. We used a long triangle thing that basically made a sled have 0 friction and it could be pulled by a little tiny screw. It was pretty cool and if you put your hand on the long triangle thing because it was blowing out air it kind of felt like you were petting a soft animal.
