Physics 1-6-16 Collisions

PHYSICS: Collisions – they’re all around us and they all obey the law of conservation of momentum. Great job on setting up the problems in class today – now on to working them tonight!

How are you doing with them? Check for connections between the conservation of momentum and the conservation of energy. You can do it!

Hon Chemistry 1-6-16 The Electromagnetic Spectrum & Wave Properties of Light

HON CHEMISTRY: Isn’t this a super cool picture of light? So tell me again, if we’re supposed to be figuring out electrons, why are we studying waves?

I’m thinking you’ve probably memorized the electromagnetic spectrum after that inspirational song; however, also sure you also know the uses of the different types (all except for long waves). Just in case you’d like to hear it again: Electromagnetic Spectrum Song

How’d you like the light problems so far? We’ll explore waves and light further tomorrow!

Chemistry 1-6-16 Properties of Radioactive Isotopes

CHEMISTRY: So ordinarily it looks like just any old hunk of rock, but this is a picture of uranium ore under UV light. Pretty cool, huh?!? Here’s our beginning discussion of the unique properties of radioactive nuclides.

Speaking of radioactive isotopes, the instructions for the isotopes research is here on the website. Holler if you have questions.

Have any of you decided you want to get a head start on the half-life simulation lab? Don’t let it stress you out! It’s one of easiest labs you’ve done, but it does require that you READ the instructions on the syllabus and the website (The post on the website will be up soon, be sure and look for it.). If there is something you still don’t understand, make sure you ask me, I’ll be glad to help!
