Monday

Many folks were feeling lazy today and I hope that the work they didn't do in class will be completed at home. We will be going over it in class tomorrow and who knows if I'll get a hankering to call on people to put problems on the board...

Physical Science worked on specific heat problems from past MCAS exams. As you see, you could be asked to do a straight calculation or work with the concept of specific heat and heat transfer. We'll discuss the multiple choice tomorrow and read through the scoring rubric and exemplars provided by the state for the open response.

Physics discussed and watched demonstrations of Bernoulli's principle. We'll discuss the conceptual questions tomorrow before starting on the Boyle's Law lab activity.

Honors Physics conducted the Boyle's Law exercise today and got very good results. We will discuss the gas laws after we complete our examination of Bernoulli's principle and Bernoulli's equation. Here are a couple of Boyle's Law videos:
