People who go through a break up happen to feel pain equivalent to being physically injured. I am currently trying to recover from a relationship I thought was going to last.

Fan Cart Lab We did a fan cart for our physics class the other day. To set up the lab first‚ we measured the effect of the mass of the fan cart on the acceleration of the cart.

Homework Over Break As I sit here‚ writing this essay‚ I cannot help but think‚ what a mundane break it would have been if I had no homework to do. In fact‚ break should not be called break‚ if each and every student is not assigned some kind of exciting‚ thrilling school work to take home to do during the time-abundant‚ otherwise overwhelmingly boring‚ break.
