Competition of balancing pencil

Gave each person one pencil, 3 sheets of newspaper, and 6 inches of tape. They had to make a device that they could balance on their finger without touching the newspaper.

Had competition in groups of 4, then did winners.

Asked students to write this up in their journals.

Showed parts of Hewitt video on Rotation - especially the two examples in the introduction. Offered extra credit for best demonstration of rotational inertia for falling rods.

No homework over Thanksgiving holiday.
