Today we created electromagnets in class and learned how electricity and magnetism are related.

Homework: p. 481 # 9-12, p. 499 #2, 3, 5

Tuesday, March 27, 2012

Today we worked through the simulations on electricity. You can find them by clicking HERE.

Homework: side 2 of the circuit w/s you received yesterday

Friday, March 23, 2012

Wave Test today. Homework: read and take notes on p. 474 - 480.

Have a GREAT weekend!

Today in class we reviewed the work we have done with sound. We also tested our hearing using many different frequencies of sound! Homework: complete sound w/s #2 (if you did not do so in class)

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

Today we continued to talk about sound. Homework: complete the sound worksheet we began in class (and p. 611 #3-8 and 10 if you did not complete it last night)

Tuesday, March 13, 2012

Today we began to look at how the properties of a wave relate to the sounds that we hear. Homework: p.611 # 3-8, 10

Monday, March 12, 2012

Today we discussed wave interactions. Homework: complete the wave worksheet we started last Thursday (wave interactions reinforcement)

Thursday, March 8, 2012

Today we took a quiz on waves. Homework: side 2 of wave interaction w/s

Have a GREAT long weekend!

Tuesday, March 6, 2012

Today we reviewed the ways that waves can be measured. Homework: study for Thursday's quiz over chapter 20 sections 1 and 2

Monday, March 5, 2012

Today we used a slinky to investigate the characteristics of different waves. Homework: side 2 of the wave worksheet we began on Friday (you will be finding frequency and wavelength of different waves)

Friday, March 2, 2012

Today we began an internet activity that let us explore different waves and learn more about them.

Homework:


  • 1st, 4th and 7th period: Wave w/s #2 side 1 only (the side with the math problems)

  • 3rd and 8th: complete p. 579 #1-9 and the wave w/s #1 given out in class yesterday if you have not already done so.

Have a great weekend!
