Glow - Forces Test
This assignment was a mix between physics and chemistry, being somewhat of a test for both. However, the second part of the test is purely physic. Despite the test being somewhat manageable, some questions were definitely confusing. Most of the confusing questions were on the second part. Overall though this assignment was not that bad, and it was one of my best physics grades in MP1. For these reasons, I'd consider this assignment a grow.
Grow - Static Equilibrium Pre Lab Quiz
This assignment was one of the many pre lab quizzes that we would do before doing a lab. On this specific one, I did really poorly, getting a 23. Something I would do more in the future would be to read the lab guidelines more closely and carefully to make sure that I don't have any misconceptions when answering the questions.

Glow - Static and Kinetic Friction Lab
This lab was focused on Friction, with us being required to find the static and kinetic friction of different surfaces, seeing how different objects would react to it. The objects we used ended up being objects around the classroom. We would record the friction by using a spring scale to pull the masses, and then using the recording on the spring to find the force. Overall, despite having some problems while preforming the lab, I still went fairly smoothly with little to no problems occurring. For this reason, I'd consider this assignment a glow, and hope I continue doing well on these lab assignments
Grow - Statics and Dynamics Test
This test was focused on Static Friction and dynamics, as the title says. When I took this test, I remember it being fairly challenging, with me not understanding most of the questions. One of the reasons for this could be the fact that I didn't read the material carefully enough or I didn't use the equations I remembered to the fullest. Overall tho, I got a 64 on it, and I regret not attempting to do test corrections earlier. Something that I would do to score better in future test would be to go through the questions more carefully, and to try and identify what equations ill actually need for the questions.

Glow - Momentum, Collisions, and Impulse Test
This test was a test about Momentum, Collisions, and Impulse, as said on the assignment name. At first, I was definitely somewhat scared to take the test, as although I understood the concepts in the test, I was still concerned that I would fail considering my performance on other test before hand. However, I actually ended up doing better than expected on the assignment, being able to secure a 95. I don't remember all the details about the test, but i actually remember it going fairly smoothly while doing it. For these reasons, i'd consider this assignment a glow and hope to continue the standard i've set with this test for future physics test, such as the final.
Grow - Panel Question
This assignment as a question used for the Physics panel that we were assigned to do as a assessment grade. The main premise of the assignment was about the man Phineas Gage, and the story of the metal rod going through his head. We were assigned to find various things, such as how high it went, the velocities, and the distance it traveled before landing. I thought that I understood the concepts of the assignment pretty well, but that apparently wasn't the case, since I got a 70. Some causes of error could be that I did a problem in the wrong order, I didn't show all my work, or I simply just got the wrong values. Either way, a take away i'll use in the future is to check my work more thoroughly to make sure that that I'm confident I'm right.
