Science 10

Today we wrote our energy test.  Next we took notes on Alpha, Beta and Gamma decay found HERE.  Next we did some practice problems on this and then watched a video on the most radioactive places on earth.  

Science 10

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.  

Science 10

Today we turned in our Physics Unit Review.  Next we did a short lesson on Climate Change found HERE.  We also watched 3 videos on climate change and wrote out three things we knew, three things we learned and 2 questions we have based on this.  

Online energy quiz found HERE.  

Science 10

Today in first block we worked on our PHYSICS TEST REVIEW.  Answers to some selected problems are found HERE.  This test review is due on Monday.   Next we did the burning peanut lab.  How much Thermal Energy is in a peanut????

Science 10

Today we had a short day, yahoo! We took some notes on THERMAL energy and then answered some questions about thermal energy.  Next we worked on our test review.  

PHYSICS TEST is coming up on Wednesday, June 2.   Test review is due on Monday.  

Science 10

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.  

Science 10

Today we took notes on gravitational potential energy found HERE.  Next we did the questions #1, #3ab, 6 and 7 on the front page of THIS worksheet.  

Next we took notes on kinetic energy found HERE.  Then we did the questions from the back of the worksheet #1, #3ab
