Discovery & Invention, Period 5, 6 Feb '08
"Good afternoon," Mohinder hailed the class, idly tossing an apple into the air. He caught it, and weighed it thoughtfully in one hand before continuing.
"Apocryphally, Isaac Newton was struck by an apple and inspiration for universal gravitation under a tree in Oxford." Mohinder gave a grin. "We have rather more evidence that he went on to codify three laws of motion," and continued on. "During the time he wasn't drinking undercover with counterfeiters or disputing the origins of calculus, an argument halted only temporarily by his rival's death, that is."
"Much of Newton's framework depends on an idealised environment. Your desks are set up with air hockey tables." Mohinder gestured at the apparatus on the desks. "It's a near frictionless environment, so try to use them to test the laws of motion - before doing anything else with them."
[Waiting for OCD up!]

When she glanced around and saw Claire, though, she smiled and shot it back at her playfully. "Nice aim."

"Thanks."

"First law," she said, leaving the puck at rest, then giving it a brief push to make it move at a steady speed from hand to hand; "second law," and she pushed it back in short bursts, making it accelerate; "third law," and this time she pushed it at Mac's puck again to make them bounce off each other.
"OK, I'm done."

"So it's air hockey until the bell rings, right?"

Mac grinned brightly. "You think you dare to take me on?"
Re: Experiment #5
"Alright. You're on."
