October 27, 2008 (week 9)

AP Physics 12 - Reminder of the chapter 4 quiz this week. We have started chapter 5 Centripetal Force and we will do a lab involving tension and centripetal force. We will also continue to plug away at chapter 15 Thermodynamics.

Physics 12 - Same as AP Physics 12 (not including thermodynamics since it is not a part of the regular physics 12 curriculum)

Physics 11 - We are starting chapter 5 Dynamics (the study of forces). In particular we will learn about Isaac Newton's Three Laws of Motion. This chapter we will do many activities related to measuring forces (elastic, gravitational, frictional).

Science 8 - We are currently working in chapter 8 Fluids. This is a very practical "hands-on" chapter meaning we will do a variety of interesting activities related to measuring forces (gravitational, elastic). We will also learn the mathematical relationship between weight and mass. Students who have purchased the workbook should be working at their own pace to complete workbook chapter 8.
