PHYSICS: Today was the last of the applications of lenses. I love it when you get to see how physics crosses over into other disciplines of science – from physiology the other day with myopia and hyperopia and how lenses can help, to the applications today – how microscopes and telescopes work, and, ever important to know – why is sky blue!
Update on homework: the homework for thin lenses was incorrect. It should be: Pg. 508 – 512; 15 – 26 (Draw 24 – 26 to scale).
Speaking of lasts – LAST chapter test tomorrow!! What should you practice? Application of concepts, ray diagrams with mirrors and refraction through a transparent medium and lenses, and problems. Hey, here’s something to think about… can something really disappear into thin air? How??
Are you extending the lab due date? If so, to when exactly?
Hello Ms. Skinner,
Not gonna lie I’m not doing to hot at balancing these equations I’m catching on slowly but surely. I think once I get the 17 rules 100% I will be good on the test. Have a great weekend Ms. Skinner And I know it is a long shot but could we have a help session Monday maybe.
I’ve had a great time in Physics this year! Learned a lot that will be sure to help me in college. Thanks for all the help and everything!
I can’t believe this is our last we post ever! I will carry so much physics knowlegde into college with me this fall. Thanks for the memories.
Thank you Ms. Skinner for keeping on us and teaching us so much. I feel that we are better problem solvers now.
