Today we started a short unit on radioactivity. This is included in the Energy Unit, but won't be on the test. We went through a power point and then did a lab with "cornium" atoms in order to determine the half life of this material. Finally we watched a short video on radioactivity.

Today we took notes on combining KE and PE. These notes are found HERE. Next we practiced some of these problems with THIS worksheet. You can omit #7 for now. We watched a cool video on dropping objects in a vacuum chamber:
Finally we started setting up our Rube Goldberg chain reaction by playing with a bunch of stuff. Tomorrow we will build the Rube Goldberg and take a short quiz on potential and kinetic energy.

Today we practiced understanding the difference between kinetic and potential energy and looking at different forms of energy. We did THIS worksheet. Next we took THESE notes and did THIS worksheet on transformation of energy.
We watched a video on the energy of roller coasters and built our own CATAPULT to transform elastic potential energy into mechanical kinetic energy.
