3/19/12 Conferences Tonight!

Happy Monday! Reminder: Parent/Teacher Conferences are tonight and we are offering extra credit if YOU attend with your parent/guardian :) Mr.Groh will be in the cafeteria and I will be in C111. You can see either of us!

Today we reviewed the FIVE Kinematics formulas

Today we also discussed how to put the solving for displacement Kinematics formula into the quadratic formula to solve for time.

Rube Work Day in the Computer Lab!
DUE DATE: 4/16/12

Remember to show the energy transfers AND explain each how the energy transfers....such as if you are using the clapper for sound to electical--explain how the clapper works!! Research it! :)  Use resources such as How Stuff Works, Youtube and Teacher Tube.

Little energy form funny for you :)



Kinematics!





WORK DONE TODAY:
College Prep Worksheet Page 55 10, 11, 12
Book Practice D page 55  1-4

VERY IMPORTANT: 
DO NOT ROUND your data in the middle--when you solve for something (such as x) that will be used in another formula (like then solving for Final Velocity)--STORE the MIDDLE DATA NUMBER IN YOUR CALCULATOR!!!

3/12/12

Happy Monday Everyone!!!

Today we did LOTS :)

1. Reviewed the 6 forms of energy that we discussed on Friday

2. Went over Sound Energy, Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy

3. Discussed The Rube Project!
 --Due 4/16/12
--Link to Description AND the grading rubric
--can be virtual or a physical project
--Computer lab time TOMORROW (3/13), Thursday 3/15 and Wednesday 3/28 (all three days are in the Media Center Lab)
 --remember: you can have a partner or go solo!!! If you decide to have a partner and you "Do all the WORK", you both get the same grade so pick your partner carefully!

3/9/12

Wow! What a week--Juniors--thanks for doing your best taking the ACT! Seniors--thanks for working hard for Mr.Groh.

Today:
  • we took a 5 question quiz 
  • Learned about energy forms--most of this should be review from Physical Science 9 
  • Homework for the weekend: Think about Sound Energy and where it might fit into the forms of energies 
  • Remember: This information will be used for the Rube Project :)

3/5/12

Today was a REVIEW of velocity and acceleration! 

NOTES can be found here

We also gave back the lab. Here is the scoring sheet that was used.

Don't forget--it is the "SMALL" things that matter..... list the given information, show your formula, compute your formula with variables first, show all work and put your answers in significant digits! :)
