Finally!

Seniors are gone - life can get back to normal ...

Honors Physics spent the period reading their yearbooks – only 30 minutes in class, exams already returned – why not?

Physical Science B worked on the waves portion of their MCAS review. The items from previous exams was assigned last night and we went over that first. Then, students had time to work on the short answer review questions. Also distributed were the review materials for the electromagnetism unit. We will go over that Tuesday and tidy up any loose ends with waves.

Physical Science E went over their waves practice questions and then received the short answer review questions for waves, as well as the materials to review for the electromagnetism unit. We will go over this on Tuesday and students from both B and E block can email me over the weekend if they have questions. Time table:

• Electromagnetism practice MCAS items due Tuesday
• Bring any questions from the sound short answers to work on
• All electromagnetism, heat and waves review work due Friday

Physics F (those that hadn’t left with the senior exodus) recuperated after a very grueling and chaotic week.

Physics G took their final exam – the last exam of their high-school experience. Whew!

How Graduating Seniors Perceive College Life

Mystery Inc. Should Avoid Mardi Gras

The End is Near

Honors Physics and Physics F didn’t meet today due to the senior exam schedule.

Physical Science B took the 2009 Introductory Physics MCAS during the LONG block and we then took time to go over the multiple-choice questions and students worked on grading their open-responses using state-provided exemplars for the questions. People seemed to think that the test wasn’t as bad as they had feared, so I’m sure that everyone will give it their best effort next week.

Physical Science E reviewed their MCAS heat material and then moved on to waves. Specific heat, heat/temperature/particle motion, direction of heat flow - drill firmly into the brain... Won’t it be nice when all of this MCAS stuff is over?

Physics G had time to ask any final questions or get any last-minute assistance for tomorrow’s final exam. Last exam of your senior year – yeah!

Homework

Honors Physics A, Physics F: None
Physical Science B and E: Complete MCAS waves short answer items
Physics G: Prepare for final exam

Honors Physics spent the period going over their final exams and preparing for their remaining final exams. Not much to yack about there…

Physical Science B evaluated their work on the practice MCAS heat questions, and, I must say, folks did pretty well on those. We then dissected the open response questions and discussed strategies for approaching and conquering these items. Tomorrow – dress rehearsal for the MCAS next week! Don’t forget your calculators.
Physical Science E discussed their performance on the practice 2009 MCAS test they took yesterday before we moved on to our review of heat. People seem to be more confident about the MCAS than they were when we started the review process and that confidence will definitely help next week. Tomorrow, we’ll go over both the review short answers and prior MCAS problems in class, so have that ready to go.

Physics F didn’t meet today, but Physics G did and we took time to address any material for which students still required assistance. Remember to gather up textbook and any missing work to give to me before you leave the building on Friday!

Yes, it is Tuesday

Honors Physics A endured their final exams today. Lots of blood, sweat and tears, but it didn’t turn out as miserably as many people expected. We’ll go over the tests in class tomorrow.

Physical Science B didn’t meet, but E Block did and we reviewed the momentum short answer questions before hitting the heavy stuff. Students were given the released version of last year’s MCAS exam to work, independently. We went over the multiple-choice items and then targeted specific items that gave folks problems. Students were then given copies of exemplars provided by the state for the open-response items. By the end of the LONG block, students had a pretty good idea of where they stand in terms of the material. We’ll keep reviewing up to the bitter end (exam is next Wednesday and Thursday) to maximize student performance.

Physics F recuperated from their day of exams and students got to see their test papers, although they could not keep them owing to G block’s exam not occurring until Friday. G Block, itself, did not meet, but we’ll catch up tomorrow.

Counting Down

We get rid of the Friday and everyone is counting down with unbridled glee...

Honors Physics took time to address specific problems from old exams that were still giving them troubles. On the final, don’t expect the problems to be very complicated, but make sure you are proficient with the basic problems associated with each section. I’ll be here before school tomorrow if you need any last minute assistance.

Physical Science B went over their MCAS material for heat and temperature and then received their practice problems from prior MCAS exams. The MCAS loves specific heat problems and questions that check if you understand that a higher temperature = more kinetic energy = greater/faster particle motion. We will go over those tomorrow and then make a start with waves. Physical Science E tidied up ideas about momentum and then launched themselves into heat. We’ll go over the heat material tomorrow in class and students will also have time to take the full 2009 MCAS exam as a practice for next week.

Physics F took their final exam and Physics G reviewed for their final exam.

On This Day

May 21, 1980...The best installment of the Star Wars saga was released - The Empire Strikes Back. Kids skipped school to catch the opening of this film; alas, I was not one of them. Being a freshman, my mother thought it inappropriate that I stay home and catch the flick. Regrets of childhood...Regardless, enjoy this little tidbit of tribute...

Fridey!

Honors Physics went over their practice final exam and we took time to go over some, more troublesome, items in detail. Use the exam as a general outline for walking back through the chapters while preparing for the final on Tuesday. Drag out your old tests and use those, as well. If you are missing a test, I can give you a copy. You can email me over the weekend if you have questions about the material for the final exam and don’t forget to come armed with questions on Monday.

Physical Science B went over, as a class, the momentum review questions. Yesterday’s practice MCAS packet had a good number of momentum problems to work, so I didn’t include any extra in this review piece. If you want extra review problems for momentum, just ask me and I’ll draw some up for you. Attention then turned to the next MCAS area – heat and temperature. After reflecting on the heat strands, students were set loose to begin working on the review questions. We’ll go over these on Monday and also get practice working with heat, specific heat and temperature problems.

Physical Science E spent time going over their practice MCAS packet. We went through the multiple choice questions that had been assigned as homework and then discussed strategies for attacking and conquering the open response items.

Physics F and G went over their practice final exams and we spent time working through specific items that gave students difficulty. For both classes, email me over the weekend if you run into questions during your preparations – this is especially true for F Block, since your exam is Monday!

Drawing up to Exam Week

Honors Physics went over their modern physics exams and then tuned attention to reviewing for the final. Students were given a copy of last year’s exam and reminded that last year’s exam did not cover magnetism or modern physics and was administered in a 67-minute block. We will go over this exam and start working on specific questions that students bring with them tomorrow. In addition, students were allotted time to work on corrections for their modern physics exams (as a graduation present).

Physical Science B completed going over their motion and forces questions from previous MCAS exams and then took time, as a class, to examine the short answers and discuss strategies for attacking the questions and maximizing their scores. Tomorrow, we’ll have a last overview of momentum before moving on to heat.

Physical Science E went over their momentum review questions and then were given packets with motion and forces questions from previous MCAS exams. Time was given in class to begin working on the multiple-choice and what students did not complete is assigned as homework. We’ll go over these tomorrow and discuss strategies for best performance on the open response.

Physics F and G took their open-book modern physics quizzes and then returned to their review for the final exam. We will go over the practice final tomorrow in class and students should bring in any specific questions to discuss.

Don't Let Finals Do This To You!

Rainy Day for Review

Honors Physics took their last regular exam of the year – much to everyone’s delight. Starting tomorrow, we begin to focus in on the final that is scheduled for next Tuesday. If you didn’t catch up with me during the day to finish your test, make sure that you do so tomorrow morning.

Physical Science B went over their work and energy review material and then re-took some items from previous MCAS exams. We will finish going over those items tomorrow and talk about the open response questions as a class before moving on to momentum. Physical Science E also went over their work and energy and then began their momentum review material.

Physics F and G took time to gather materials to use as review for their upcoming final exams and then students were given a copy of last year’s final exam to use as a study tool. Remember – last year’s class did not get to magnetism or modern physics and their exam block was only 67 minutes. This year’s exam will include magnetism and modern physics and is being administered in a 2+ hour block. Prepare accordingly. Time was also given in class for students to work on their magnetism exam corrections and get help with any information for tomorrow’s open-book modern physics quiz.

A Day for Reviews

Honors Physics reviewed the material for tomorrow’s exam and then went over their magnetism tests. For tomorrow’s test, you will have all the necessary constants and information, as well as the formulas, that you need to do the work. The newest incarnation of the formula sheet can be accessed here, so check it out and make sure that you familiarize yourself with the new information.

Physical Science B and E worked on their energy review short-answer questions and received their review problems for work, power and energy. We will go over this tomorrow in class, so make sure that you have completed the work.

Physics F and G picked up with binding energy and moved forward into the arena of nuclear changes through radioactive decay. Make sure that you can identify examples of each type of decay and predict decay products. We also took on the topic of radioactive half-life and how it is used to date determine the ages of materials. At this point, we are drawing a line across the notes and saying “Done.” Work on your corrections for the magnetism exam and don’t forget to hand those in to me when you are done. Tomorrow, starting to look ahead to the final exams next week. Open-book modern physics quiz on Thursday.

Babysitting, Part 2

Honors Physics and both Physics sections had fewer than a handful of students in attendance due to “senior skip day.” So, nothing to report there.

Physical Science B and E had time to address any additional motion and force questions before moving on to the energy review. If you did not hand in your motion and force review material today, make sure that you get it to me tomorrow. Tomorrow’s class work will continue the energy review and add in the math piece with practice problems.

Phryday!

Honors Physics concluded their unit on modern physics with a discussion of fusion, forces and particles. A good time was had by all. The exam for this unit will fall next Wednesday. Take time between now and then to look over the material for questions/problems and begin pulling your thoughts together for the upcoming final.

Physical Science B and E continued on with their MCAS review work and concentrated today on pulling together loose ends for forces. We went over the practice problems and short answer questions and dealt with questions and issues with the material. Starting Monday – Energy!

Physics F and G basically did not happen since everyone and their brother was dismissed at 11:00 for prom.

None for anyone!

The End, My Friend

Today marked the last lab activities for the physics and honors physics kids. They start finals soon and we have to finish up the modern physics unit and review for that big exam.

Honors Physics reviewed their radiation lab and then turned attention back to nuclear decay series. We then introduced the concept of the decay constant and half-life and spent time discussing how the concept of half-life could be used to track the age of materials. After those relatively benign nuclear changes, we shifted gears and launched into a brief overview of nuclear fission. We’ll hit fusion tomorrow and then begin to explore the variety of forces and mediating particles that hold our universe together.

Physical Science B and E worked on their forces review material. Students were given short answer questions yesterday and today got a sheet of relevant problems. We’ll discuss these tomorrow and E will also move into the area of energy and momentum.

Physics F began their radiation lab by examining the effects of distance and shielding on radiation intensity. Physics G conducted this investigation yesterday and finished up today by exploring the shielding properties of various materials such as aluminum foil and paper. Due to the lack of attendance tomorrow due to early dismissals for prom, Physics F won’t be able to finish up the lab tomorrow. We’ll see if time permits for people to complete the lab on Monday.

Measuring Radioactivity

Honors Physics completed their radiation labs today, but I won’t expect the write ups until Friday. Groups seemed to get good data that fit their predictions/model equations, so the conclusion section of your synopsis should be a walk in the park. Tomorrow, we review the labs and the introductory material for nuclear physics before moving on with nuclear half-life and properties of other subatomic particles.

Physical Science B went over their magnetism exams and then walked though the textbooks sections that are relevant to the forces strands of the MCAS frameworks. Students then received a review sheet for the forces concepts that they began to work on in class and will continue to work on in class tomorrow. You will also get a set of problems for forces tomorrow and we will look at going over all of the material on Friday.

Physical Science E took time to review their motion problems and then started in on forces. We looked at the relevant textbook material and then students began to work on their forces review sheet. We will continue to work on these tomorrow and also add on a set of problems dealing with forces and gravity.

Physics F began a discussion of nuclear decay and the properties of alpha, beta and gamma decay. The lab on which you’ll work tomorrow will allow you to investigate radioactive decay in more detail and will highlight protocols for safe handling of nuclear materials/waste products. Physics G conducted this lab today and got to see the effects of distance and shielding on the intensity of radiation at a particular location. With greater distance, radiation intensity falls, and the effect is an exponential one. Increased shielding also reduces radiation intensity. Tomorrow, we’ll work on the last lab in the set, which will let you see how statistics is used for evaluating nuclear decay.

Radiation!

Honors Physics conducted two lab investigations that addressed radiation intensity and one that introduced students to count statistics. The first two investigations allowed students to determine the effects of distance and shielding on radiation intensity. Unsurprisingly, the greater the distance, the fewer radioactive emissions hit the radiation sensor. Also, adding more and more shielding between the source and the detector reduced the intensity of the radiation. The final investigation introduced students to the statistics of radioactive decay. Folks followed count numbers for discrete time increments and compared them to Poisson and Gaussian distributions. With longer count intervals, the distributions were more normal in nature; at smaller count intervals, the distributions were best viewed with Poisson statistics. This indicates that the method of analysis, even for a source with fairly constant activity, depends on measurement duration and number of counts. Groups didn’t quite finish up with this last bit, so we’ll have time at the start of class to do so tomorrow before moving on explore nuclear decay in more detail and take up the concept of half-life.

Physical Science B reviewed their MCAS motion materials. We took time to address any problems and will do so again at the beginning of class tomorrow. Then, it is on to forces!

Physical Science E reviewed their MCAS motion short-answer questions and we made sure that all folks were clear on the appropriate responses and strategies for attacking these types of questions. Then, students were given a sheet of practice problems for velocity and acceleration. We will go over these tomorrow before moving on to forces.

Physics F and G completed their introduction to atomic physics with a discussion of matter waves and how the combination of this idea and the quantum nature of energy brought us to our current understanding of atomic structure. We took a look at Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, also, and discussed its implications for understanding atomic and subatomic level phenomenon. Tomorrow, G Block will conduct a lab investigation associated with our next chapter of study – the nucleus and nuclear processes. F Block will start discussing this material and have their lab investigation on Thursday.

Oh That Modern Physics

Honors Physics endured their magnetism exams and will conduct a lab investigation tomorrow that centers around radiation. Don’t fret – all radioactive materials are NRC classed as non-hazardous, so you are not going to turn green by being in proximity with them. You will use gloves, however, as you do want to prevent accidental ingestion of materials. For folks that didn’t finish their exams, remember that tomorrow before school and at lunch are the options to finish if you didn’t stop by today.

Physical Science B began the long road of MCAS review. Students had time to work on two review items for motion – a series of short answer questions and a set of word problems. We will go over these tomorrow and look back on MCAS questions that dealt with these topics. We will also take time to go over the magnetism exams.

Physical Science E went over their magnetism exams and then began to work on a sheet of short answer questions to review for motion. Tomorrow, we’ll go over these items and take time to review over the chapter material that is relevant to those frameworks strands. There may also be time in class to start on working on the motion problems set that goes with this review unit.

Physics F and G began their unit on modern physics. We began our discussion with evidence for the particle nature of light and the basis for the wave-particle duality. This was then extended to de Broglie’s notion that if light had particle-like properties, then particles should have wave-like properties. These ideas will roll into tomorrow’s discussion of historical models of the atom, where quantum ideas helped form our modern interpretation of atomic structure.

I Should Get a Fee

...for having to babysit all day today...

Pretty much every class did the same thing today – catch up and finish up. Since half of the school was on the Six Flags trip, each class was populated by a handful of students. Students were allowed to complete lab write ups, homework assignments, study for exams (Honors Physics has their magnetism exam on Monday), etc. Starting Monday, the Physical Science classes will begin to review for the MCAS exam that will be administered on June 2, 3. Physics classes will start on the unit for modern physics and Honors Physics will suffer through their exam. There you have it.

Nearly There

Honors Physics reviewed their quantum physics homework and then continued on with their discussion of nuclear stability and nuclear decay. Remember that decay is natural process and that may involve many steps before a stable nucleus is produced. If the decay step involves alpha or beta decay, expect the formation of a new element. Gamma decay does not alter the identity of the atom, but often accompanies alpha and beta emissions. Tomorrow, we take time to review for Monday’s exam on magnetism and, if there is time, take on the discussion of measuring nuclear decay.

Physical Science B and E worked on their magnetism exams. We are now heading into the review process for the MCAS exam that will be administered on June 2 and 3. We will go through the relevant course material and take time to practice the math skills that are required for success on the exam. The prudent student will begin gathering the old MCAS practice questions I gave you, finding notes packets for early chapters and pulling together old math worksheets so that you can get an idea of what material you need to review the most. Since tomorrow is going to be characterized by low attendance, we’ll take up with the review process in full on Monday.

Physics F and G took their magnetism exams and then started the reading for the final unit of the year – atomic and nuclear physics. We’ll have a brief introduction to the idea of quantum physics and explore the nuclear emissions that characterize unstable nuclei. Since many of you will be heading to Six Flags tomorrow, make sure that you have all of tonight’s homework completed by Monday.

Test Prep Day!

Honors Physics A completed their brief introduction to atomic physics and then reviewed over basic ideas about nuclear structure and stability. The chapter on quantum physics was brief and somewhat shallow, but that’s really about all that could be presented in this course, which a survey of physics topics. Also, the math is really horrifying and no one wants that. However, the whole field is fascinating and still at the cutting edge of physics theory – interested folks should take time to pick up a book or two and read up on the subject. As for nuclear physics, most of what we went over today was review from last year’s chemistry curriculum and a lot of the remainder of the chapter will be also. We’ll put more of a physics spin on things, but you should definitely be good to go on this material come exam time.

Physical Science B reviewed for tomorrow’s exam on magnetism. Remember to stop by before school tomorrow if you need additional help or email me tonight. On Friday, most folks will be gone for the band trip, so we’ll have clowns and cupcakes instead of learning anything.

Physical Science E conducted their lab investigation on magnetism. The first piece focused on permanent magnets and the fields they created. Students documented that distance greatly affected field strength and that the both the north and south pole of the magnet had filed lines that were opposite in their orientation. Then, students studied the effect of winding number on the strength of an electromagnet. As more winds of wire wrapped around the nail, the stronger was the measured field strength. Rapping the nail sharply on a desktop reduced its magnetic field strength significantly, as the magnetic domains went from aligned to non-aligned. The write up for this lab will not be due until Friday, or Monday if you are going on the band trip. After the data was collected for the lab investigations, tine was spent reviewing the material of tomorrow’s exam. As for B Block, make time to contact me if you need any additional help with the material.

Physics F reviewed for tomorrow’s exam and Physics G completed the material and also reviewed for tomorrow’s exam. Email me tonight if you have any last-minute questions or stop by tomorrow morning if you need help.

Winding Up Magnetism

Honors Physics discussed historical models of the atom (a review for most) and used those models to highlight how quantum physics promoted a more complex, yet more accurate atomic model. We moved from Thomson to Rutherford to Bohr and broke off during our discussion of matter waves, which helps to further explain aspects of Bohr’s model and opened the door to new ways of looking at the atom, energy and matter as a whole. Tomorrow, we continue on with this discussion and will likely step into nuclear physics.

Honors Physical Science B and E completed their discussion of magnetism with an overview of how electromagnetic waves are formed and self-propagate through empty space. Then, we reviewed over the reasons electricity is delivered to customers at high voltages (reducing power dissipation in the lines) and how transformers work to bring the voltage into the range of the average consumer. We examined the structure of a basic transformer and how the winding ratio determined how much the voltage was stepped down or stepped up. Tomorrow, B Block will spend time reviewing for Thursday’s exam. E Block will conduct their lab investigation for this unit, centering on permanent and electromagnets and will have time in class to review exam material. Several folks have mentioned stopping by after school tomorrow for a review. To maximize the effectiveness, look over the material and come with specific problem areas for us to work on. This should eliminate the last minute panic when you realize that some area that you forgot about was an area that you had trouble with and the exam begins in 5 minutes.

Physics F viewed the Magnetic Storm DVD as the culminating activity in this unit. Tomorrow, we take time to review the material from the two chapters on Thursday’s exam. Make sure to have your discussion questions ready to go for tomorrow, also. Physics G progressed through electromagnetic induction, starting with Lenz’s Law and ending with the basic structure of motors. We’ll complete the unit material tomorrow and take time to highlight relevant exam material.

For all seniors – progress grades were submitted before many of you decided to toss missing work/ test corrections/overdue labs in my direction. Although these scores will be reflected in your final quarter grade, they won’t be represented on your progress grade.

Back in the Saddle Again

Honors Physics was, and will continue to be, depleted in number today due to AP exams, but that won’t stop us from soldiering on. After reviewing the final bit of magnetism homework, students started their march through modern physics with an overview of certain problems that classical physics could not adequately explain – blackbody radiation and the photoelectric effect. The work of Planck, Einstein, Wien and others were highlighted as we took a historical look at the beginnings of quantum theory. Tomorrow, we’ll review the history of the structure of the atom and emphasize how the new quantum ideas shaped our appreciation of atomic structure. Exam is still next Monday, so we’ll set aside some time of Friday for review.

Physical Science B and E started with electromagnetic induction today. The concept of magnetic flux was explained, as was its role in generating charge motion. Induction was then applied to the function of a generator and students were able to see how changing such variables as rotation speed affected the current output of a hand-held generator. With generators came a discussion of AC current and the idea that even magnitude of the current varied with time. We’ll continue on with our discussion of induction tomorrow and bring transformers into the picture. Exam still on the books for Thursday, with Wednesday being E-Block’s lab period.

Physics F discussed mutual inductance and self-inductance in systems and spent additional time working with the theory of transformers. You’ll get practice with problems dealing with transformers tonight and tomorrow’s film will wrap up ideas about magnetism and detail properties of Earth’s magnetic field.

Physics G watched the NOVA presentation Magnetic Storm, which highlights features and processes of Earth’s magnetic field and does a good job of reinforcing basic concepts about magnetism. Students were given a set of discussion questions to attack that we will go over tomorrow before returning to the idea of electromagnetic induction.
