Science 10

Collected today:  Lab 10A and pg. 358 #2, 3 and 5ab

Today we worked on practice questions for velocity and speed.  Remember that velocity has a direction and speed does not!

We introduced the topic of acceleration and did some practice problems with acceleration.

Homework:  pg. 379 #5, 6, 7

Today we looked at graphs of Distance vs. Time which is speed as well as Displacement vs. Time which is velocity.   Filled in notes from these.

Homework is
1)  to complete lab 10A pg. 366 and do Analysis a-e.   Make sure you have a title, a question a data table, a graph with 3 slope calculations.

2)  Pg. 358 #2, 3, 5ab

Today I collected the Unit Conversion Worksheet.

We went over some questions calculating time, distance and velocity.   Simple Speed Worksheet is due next class.

We took notes on Displacement and Velocity and learned how velocity is different than speed.

Ticker Tape lab was next:  pg. 366 in the text book.  Graph the results with only points for next class.

Welcome back and Happy New Year!

Today we got back our Radioactivity Tests and went over a few questions.   These were pretty good.....some folks did a lot better on the written section, but all in all nice work.

We did a quick review of unit conversions as well as speed/velocity calculations.

2 worksheets due tomorrow:   Unit conversions and simple speed questions.

Use the data booklet to "cheat"

Radioactivity Test tomorrow!

Bring warm clothes for our lab tomorrow.

Who says Nuclear Physics isn't awesome!

Today we went over the homework on pg. 296 #3-5

Took notes on Nuclear Equations, Fission and Fusion

and watched a thought provoking video on Nuclear Energy.

Homework:  Worksheet on Fission and Fusion.    Quick Question Quiz tomorrow covering 1/2 lives and alpha, beta, gamma decay.
