Due Friday, Nov. 2nd, Midnight

Today in class, groups had some time to finish labs/collaborate and share data.  We went over answers from last week's big problem set (p.880) and started to discuss momentum in some classes.
Tomorrow we'll have official notes on Momentum: Inertia in Motion!  and an egg-stravagant demonstration.

Friction Labs from Friday are due this Wednesday, the 24th.  Scoring guides will be handed out in class Tuesday, and look like:
