Midterm Exams Days 3 - 4

Well, just more tests for these past two days, but Monday starts Honors Physics, Physics D and E on Waves and Simple Harmonic Motion. We'll define SHM, look at examples of it in action, contrast wave types, describe properties of waves and do lab work both on pendulum motion and SHM for oscillating springs. Introductory Physics picks up with energy. We'll look at kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy, compare mechanical and non-mechanical energy and delve into the Law of Conservation of Energy.
