Physics completed their discussion of the properties of light and began to examine the phenomenon of reflection. We will conclude this discussion tomorrow and conduct a lab investigation on reflection on Friday.
Honors Physics discussed color and polarization. Color addition and color subtraction were contrasted methods to polarize light were described. Tomorrow, reflection lab. Friday, polarization lab.
Physical Science explored static electricity in today's lab activity. Charges were generated and the subsequent forces were used to influence the motion of matter. Tissue and aluminum foil flew, hair stood on end, balloons stuck to the ceiling...crazy stuff. Your lab questions bring up the concept of static discharge. The lightning and doorknob shock reference should give you a big hint about that concept, but do a bit of research if necessary. Tomorrow, we will further discuss static electricity, view a demonstration of static discharge and begin to move into the arena of electric current.
