HW Friday, 3-7: More Think 'n' Solves

More Think 'n' Solves 1-6
B period - you got the first page (1-3) b/c we ran out of time.  We'll do the rest on Monday
A period - you got 1-6 today.  We'll do the Its quiz on Monday.
E period - you should have finished 1-6 already, but take the Its Learning quiz.  You now have 3 attempts to get them right.  Unfortunately, Its Learning doesn't let me fix errors in the key once the test has been taken, so here's a free point:
  • always put a space between the number and units.
  • #4 - use "J" for the units even though it should clearly be "m/s"
  • #5 - use "J" instead of "Joules"
