Observations-Make your own observations about acceleration, what you felt as the train accelerated, what you
observed, etc.
6. Results (graph here) Click on insert, picture, and chart. Format the cells to reflect the above data. Make sure
that your graph makes sense and is presented appropriately in terms of the lab questions.
7. Conclusion-FOLLOW THE RERUN FORMAT and address the questions. Go beyond the basics (the
train accelerated). When you are finished, post your lab on your UNIT 2 webpage. Also, remember to post
your conclusion on nicenet. No paper needed!
