This was a very abbreviated week that found the Honors Physics folks completing the basic information in the Momentum and Collisions chapter, the Physics students starting this chapter and Physical Science folks starting to examine the action of forces in fluids. Honors Physics - by Monday, everyone should have completed through Practice 6G and C block will have completed #59 in the chapter review. Make sure that you can distinguish elastic from perfectly elastic collisions in terms of conservation of kinetic energy and mathematically analyze each type of collision. Physics - A block got a lecture on momentum and impulse today that E block will get next Tuesday. Monday is lab day, which will be devoted to examining the relationship between impulse and change of momentum. Physical Science got started with examining forces in fluids by discussing pressure, hydraulics and Pascal's principle. Have that worksheet completed by Monday so we can review the work in class.
As the holidays approach, people start looking for nice things to do for folks. Child's Play is a good charity that services children's hospitals. ALL of the monies and goods go to the children, none is retained for the charity itself and that is a rarity. Donations can be made through PayPal, or through Amazon.com. Hospitals set up Amazon wish lists and purchased merchandise is sent directly to the hospital. Children's Hospital in Boston is one of the hospitals serviced by the charity. The very cool thing is that Child's Play is a charity that has as its main source of donations the videogamer community. So, if you game, here's a way to do something to help out the gamer image and help sick kids in the process. Visit the
Have a great Thanksgiving!
