Teacher Guide Errata
Some printings may contain the following errors.
Investigation 1, Getting Ready for Part 3, page 71, Step 2
Ignore the reference to the "measurement kit" in the first sentence. This sentence should read:

"The Force" Sheet Updated (Investgation 1, Part 3)
Due to a change in washer specs, The Force sheet has been updated in the online duplication masters PDF. The sheet now has enough space for students to record up to 25 washers.
