Wasserman Foundation and Starbucks

2012-01-25T22:30:00.000-08:00

Thanks to the Wasserman Foundation, starting January 23^rd select Starbucks stores in the city of Los Angeleswill distribute $10 DonorsChoose.org gift cards with purchase, while supplies last. (See a list of participating stores.) These gift cards can be used to support any Los Angeles public school classroom project on DonorsChooseLA.org.

The length of time cards are available in stores will vary depending on the store. For the best chance of receiving a card, we recommend visiting a local Starbucks early on the 23rd. We estimate cards will last somewhere between 2-6 days.

Donors who already redeemed a Wasserman Foundation gift card distributed by LAUSD last year will be able to redeem an additional gift card obtained at a local Starbucks. Gift cards cannot be redeemed on behalf of others, and are limited to one per person in order to reach as many Los Angeles residents as possible. A maximum of 75 cards can be applied to projects from one teacher.

Visit www.DonorsChooseLA.org to redeem your gift card! Gift cards expire on March 16, 2012.

Do you like Starbucks!

2012-01-25T22:25:00.000-08:00

From now until March 16 coffee goers
can enjoy their coffee and help fund
LAUSD classrooms.
It’s easy as 1-2-3:
1. Drink Starbucks coffee
2. Receive a FREE $10 DonorsChooseLA
gift card with your purchase
3. Redeem your gift card to help an
LAUSD classroom at DonorsChooseLA.org

Hi AP,

For those interested in taking public transportation, I have added a Google Map below for you to input your address. Google will tell you which buses to take to get to the correct drop off point of Westholme and Hilgard. Remember, that you do not have to take public transportation but we only have one bus and we are sharing with Chatsworth HS so we will have less seats than we need. Our bus will pick us up tomorrow at 8AM. WE ARE LEAVING AT 8:00 AM.

View Hilgard Ave & Westholme Ave in a larger map
Directions to use Google map.

1. Click on the blue bubble in the map.
2. Click on the blue hyper link that says "Directions" on the white pop-up
3. On the left should appear a white shoulder with a green "A". Type your address next to the green "A."

Analysis Questions for today's lab

Analysis
A. Did you need to exert a force on the elastic band to start spinning the cupsling
from rest?
B. Did you need to continue exerting a force on the elastic band to keep it
spinning at a constant speed? How did you know?
C. When the cupsling moved in a circle, it was changing direction all the time.
What caused the cupsling to change direction?
D. When the cupsling moved in a circle at a constant speed, did it accelerate?
Explain your answer.
E. Where do you think the cup would go if the band were released while
the cup was spinning?
F. What happened to the length of the elastic band as you increased the force
to spin the cupsling in a horizontal circle?
G. How long did it take for the cup to complete one circle?

Analysis
H. What happened to the length of the elastic band as the speed increased?
I. What happened to the force on the elastic band as the speed increased?
J. How long did it take for the cup to complete one circle?

Analysis
K. What happened to the length of the elastic band when you increased the
mass in the cup?
L. How did the increase in mass affect the force on the elastic band?
M. If a mass moves in a straight line and more mass is added, does the inertia
increase, decrease, or stay the same?
N. Do you think that the same thing happens to a body in circular motion?
Explain.
O. How long did it take for the cup to complete one circle?
