January 7, 2008 (week 17)

Welcome back to school everyone. I hope that you enjoyed the Christmas Holidays and are ready to get back to work here at Burnaby South.

AP Physics 12 - We will finish up chapter 7 (conservation of momentum). Students should complete a minimum of 25 problems in preparation for the chapter 7 test on January 15. We will also finish up chapter 15 (thermodynamics) and students should complete a minimum of 25 problems in preparation for the thermodynamics test on January 21.

Physics 12 - We will finish up chapter 7 (conservation of momentum). Students should complete a minimum of 25 problems in preparation for the chapter 7 test on January 15. We will also start chapter 9 (Torque) later this week.

Physics 11 - We will spend three periods learning about Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. This material is not in your textbook and so it is very important that you pay attention in class and take good notes. We will also have another ch 6 vectors test since the results from the last vectors test were generally very poor. Absolutely no excuse for this as the test questions were taken right out of the textbook/homework assignment (see pages 130-132 and page 692). Vectors and projectiles test on January 8.

Science 8 - We are currently studying chapter 8 (Fluids). Students should work on the workbook at their own pace. We are learning to construct line graphs and to calculate the slope of the best-fit line. Reminder to bring a ruler and calculator to every class.
