Hello again! Thanks for stopping in.
Monday we explored what is happening on a molecular level with regards to energy, during a phase change of candle wax.
Tuesday we are going to practice some thermal conduction problems and then get started with Modern Physics. During our Light and Optics unit, we discussed how we know that light behaves like a wave (the results of Young's Double Slit Experiment). Today we will discuss the concept of wave-particle duality, and also how we know that light behaves like a particle as well (Photoelectric Effect).
Wednesday the students will explore the Photoelectric Effect while participating in a simulation activity.
Thursday and Friday we will be covering nuclear physics. This includes nuclear fission, fusion, and half lifes.
Monday 3/4 will be a webassign day for the students to practice the new Thermal and Modern Physics Material.
Next week is an important week as the students will be taking two tests. On Wednesday they will be taking their "Quest" on Thermal Physics and Modern Physics, and on Friday they will be taking the schoolwide midterm exam.
Upcoming due dates:
Wax Lab: Thursday 2/28
Upcoming Test dates:
Thermal Physics and Modern Physics: Wednesday 3/6
Schoolwide Midterm: Friday 3/8
