Week Ending 2/22

This was a shortened week.  We reviewed for the test on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the students took the test over the Light and Optics Unit on webassign.  

Next up is a rather short unit combining Thermal Physics and Modern Physics.  Thursday we introduced temperature (with guided notes).  We practiced temperature conversions.  Finally we introduced linear thermal expansion.  This was accompanied by a couple of interesting demonstrations; one with a bimetallic strip and one with a ball and ring.  Both of these show examples of linear thermal expansion. Friday we defined heat, internal energy, and described the processes of heat transfer.

Thanks for following!
