November 5, 2007 (week 10)

AP Physics 12 - We should finish up chapter 5 Circular Motion this week. Students must complete a minimum of 25 problems in preparation for the chapter 5 test on November 15. Concurrently we will be continuing our study of Ch 15 Thermodynamics. Although it is outside of the regular physics 12 curriculum I find this to be an exceptionally interesting and challenging topic and so we will work slowly through the material until everyone is confident in their abilities to solve thermodynamics problems.

Physics 12 - We should finish up chapter 5 Circular Motion this week. Students must complete a minimum of 25 problems in preparation for the chapter 5 test on November 15.

Physics 11 - We will continue chapter 5 (Forces). So far we have learned about contact forces like push, pull, drag and friction. We also learned about gravitational force (weight). This week we will continue to do some activities that will help us to understand Newton's 2nd Law of Motion (F=ma). Expect a chapter 5 test soon - date TBA

Science 8 - We have begun to study chapter 12 Water Quality and Quantity Affects Life on Earth. In addition to daily readings students should be completing their workbook activities at their own pace. Students should have already committed to a specific type of science project for this year (Science Fair, Wiki, Blog, Video, Slideshow, PowerPoint, Website, etc). This week they must choose their "topic" for the project and they must confirm their topic with me before proceeding to work on it.

You made a typo. It's spelled blog, not blok.
