Costumes! Costumes! Costumes!

I was great to see so many people get in the spirit and dress up for Halloween. Try not to eat too much candy this weekend nor spook too many little kids...(a few is fine, though)

Honors Physics and both Physics sections underwent their painful examination process. Monday we begin the momentum unit!

Physical Science B discussed pressure variations with depth in a fluid. For the same area of object, with increasing depth comes an increased force (weight) due to the greater amount of water on top of the object. The lab that you will conduct on Monday will allow you to investigate this phenomenon more thoroughly, so make sure that you have read over the lab instructions and completed your practice problems in preparation.

Physical Science E examined Pascal's Principle and how it can be used to design hydraulic devices. It seemed like people were getting the hang of solving hydraulics problems, so I'm confident you will do a good job with them over the weekend. CLICK HERE for a copy of your pressure worksheet and solutions key. We'll go over them on Monday and begin to discuss the topic of your last lab - pressure variations with depth.

Homework

Honors Physics A: 6B, 6C #1 and #6, 9 and 16 of the Chapter Review
Physical Science B: Read lab sheet and complete pressure and depth worksheet
Physical Science E: Complete Pascal's Principle worksheet
