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.
