Where in the world are we?! My son, Matt, is "lifting" a granite boulder that dot the landscape in a state park in Ironton, MO. The state park is named for these giant rock formations.
Congrats to Robby for being the first to email me the correct name of this park- Elephant Rock. He earned 5 points extra credit on his next homework assignment- way to go, Robby!.

Welcome to Force and Motion! Although we are only covering 3 chapters this semester, the key to this course is PRACTICE!!! Please complete your homework to the best of your ability each night so you can better understand the next day's lessons.
We will begin with Chapter 1, supplementing with several labs that will help us understand independent and dependent variables as well as practice our graphing. Use the links to the left to help you practice your skills.
