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!
