Today in physics

Today in physics, we got our Nature of Light Tests back & corrected it. Ms. K gave us some time to finish The Nature of Light Theory Sheet & we corrected that too. All the answers to the Nature of Light Test & Theory Sheet are post up by Ms.K, fix your mistakes. You can read ahead in The Nature of Light booklet because we will be discussing it tomorrow.
And the next scribe belongs to Kimberley Tran.
& HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!! get lots of candy :)

Nature Of Light Test

Today we had a test on the first part of the Nature Of Light unit. We were assigned to read pages 2-4 on the Nature Of Light: Part 2 booklet given to us. A handout based on the four early theories of light was assigned. This is to be done for Wednesday.
Scribe for tomorrow is Jennifer.

Review for Nature Of Light Test

Yesterday, October 29th we went over the answers to the questions on exercises 3-5. We also went over the answers to the graphing questions on the Physical Skills sheet. Later on during the class we did a review of the vocabulary words that would be on our Nature Of Light test. We had to get a definition of each word from one student in class.

nature of light: part 1

today, we did some work sheets...4 i think.
we corrected the speed and time, the study guide visualizing data and the graphing techniques.
the graphing questions is for homeworks.
uhmmmmmm...
test on tuesday guyz

Graphing Worksheet Answers

Wednesday, October 24, 2007

Hello,
i am Sam, i am the scribe for today. We went over the answers for exercise 2 on our hand outs. the answers are,

a) it's a scientific law because it's a general equation about how the nature of it behaves.
b) scientific laws differ from political laws because scientific laws are descriptive; they don't say how nature MUST behave but rather DESCRIBES how nature does behave.
c)quantitative, because it's an observation that's concerned with how much there is or how much is present and it actually has values because he created an equation to generalize it.
d) it would be a theory (model) because spheres explain effect of a change in volume at different temperatures.
e) more experiments should be done and tested to see if his theory is accurate and precise to the predictions. It must be consistent as well. It mus be able to explain a wide range of phenomena.

Ms. K handed back our tests today and we went over them. to see the answers it's already posted up. we also had to do a lab. what we had to do was measure the circumference and diameter of about 5-8 different sized circular lids. We had to see what the relationship was between the circumference and diameter. And that was the class. Our next scribe will be

October something, 2007 i think

Okay I don't know if I'm doing this right or not but w/e lol
if i mess up then TOO BAD

uhhh
okay today like. we like..... played with straws =)
and watched like..... these videos...... and we had to like

Hey, I'm Eric, and I'm today's scribe.

Today we read over pages 7 to 15 in the yellow sound booklet.
That took up most of the class, so we didn't do a lot.
We were also assigned questions 1, 2, 6, 11, 14, 17, 18, and 19 on page 27 of the yellow booklet.

That's all for today, nothing too exciting.
Tomorrow's scribe will be....ERIC--I mean SANGIIE

Working with the Speed of Sound

Hello, this is a new cycle for the scribes. Today in class we finished correcting the questions from last week. I will be showing the corrections later in the scribe. We also corrected the worksheet about the speed of sound that we received last week.
Okay here are the corrections for last week's work:

8a) Intensity is the energy transmitted past a given area per unit of time. It is also an objective measurement. Loudness depends on the amplitude of the wave and it is a subjective measurement.

b)Frequency is the number of vibrations per second and it is an objective measurement. While pitch is how high or low a sound is and it is a subjective measurement.

9. 20Hz to 20 000 Hz is the range of frequencies a human can hear and it is called the Audio Spectrum.

10a)529Hz - 524Hz = 5 Hz

b)t=1/f
...=1/5
...=0.2 seconds

Now here are the corrections for the worksheet about the Speed of Sound:





Okay those are all of the corrections we've done today in our Physics class. Homework for tomorrow is the worksheet that we received called Sound Waves. Our next scribe will be... ERICT. So until next time good luck in school and hope this helps. Bye Bye.

Vibrations and Sound Part 2 Video

Today , we watched the physic film .Mr "same same " (i dont know his name ^^) ..teached us about the sound.In the film,we saw when we knock one of 2 tuning forks which faced to each others, the one which was not knocked also vibrate because of the resonance,and the other things are the tuning fork vibrate and created air pressure ect.... and the end of the class,Ms. Kozoriz showed us the voice of the big woman which can broke a glass >.< ,and the answer of the Exercises:3-4-5-7, you can check them if you missed today 's class...
3/ Dog can hear frequencies in ultrasonic region,you can't
4/ a.Change amplitude
b. change frequency
5/Vibration of sound caused energy to trigger the avalanche
7/ A medium is needed




Next scribe is kissy

The Best Blog Ever!!

Ok so today we read the first couple pages in the yellow booklet. We learned that sound is a LONGITUDINAL wave. (Remember that!) Also, slightly different sounds produce a term a called "beats" when combined. Beat waves are the difference in the sounds. For example, if one sound is 440 hertz and another sound is 436hertz then the beat wave (difference) is 4 hertz. Yeah....that's all I can remember because it's like really late. Anyways we also got a worksheet that had questions like, if a man sets his clock to a factory's whistle that rings at noon and he is 3 km away, will his watch be BEHIND OR AHEAD? We also got homework in the yellow booklet. Questions 3,4,5,7,8,9 or something like that. Then we had a fire drill. Oh yeah and the most exciting part of the day was ms.K's pendulum (I think i spelled this wrong) experiment that totally worked! HAHA......ok enough sarcasm. Well I don't know anyone's name in the class, oh wait i pick Cow Milk to scribe for tomorrow...ok goodnight...i hope i make it to school tomorrow

Same Same Video

Hello, its me Kristina and I am the scribe for yesterday's class. We basically just watched a video of Vibrations and Sound and stuff with the "same same" guy. While we were watching, we were supposed to jot down 5 to 8 points on things that we learned or had learned prior to watching the video and then hand it in. After watching the video, Ms. Kozoriz gave us back our tests and went over the answers for us (check previous blog post).

That's pretty much it, as for the next scribe...I choose Sangiie.
