Halloween

Kudos for everyone who wore a costume today to celebrate Sunday's spooky holiday. Everyone looked great!

Honors Physics reviewed their power homework before walking through the chapter as a general review for Monday's exam. On Wednesday, you'll conduct a lab investigation on the Impulse-Momentum Theorem, which we'll discuss in class on Thursday.

Physics B and F reviewed their work and power homework before stepping into the world of energy. Not all forms of energy are easily available to do work - chemical and nuclear, for example - but the ones that are will be the focus of this unit. We started with gravitational potential energy and described how position in a gravitational field and mass affect an object's PE_g. We'll add elastic potential energy and kinetic energy to the pot next week. On Monday, B Block will conduct a lab investigation that allows folks to see the various types of energy in action and focuses on the big-ticket item that is conservation of energy.

Physical Science took their forces math quiz before taking the tiniest of peeks at momentum. We'll discuss momentum in more detail on Monday and conduct a lab investigation on momentum on Thursday.
